Qiagen recalls EZ1 Advanced XL model 9001492 due to potential heater malfunction from a power PCB issue, which may require repeating nucleic acid extractions and delaying results.
An issue with the power branching printed circuit board (PCB) on the instrument that has the potential to trigger a heater malfunction was discovered. If this failure were to occur, nucleic acid extractions could be compromised and extractions need to be repeated. This could cause a delay in obtaining results from downstream applications.
Qiagen is recalling its EZ1 Advanced XL instrument model 9001492 because a power branching printed circuit board issue could cause heater malfunctions. This might lead to failed nucleic acid extractions, requiring users to repeat tests and delaying results from downstream applications.
The power branching printed circuit board in the instrument has a potential issue that could cause heater malfunctions. If this failure occurs, nucleic acid extractions may be compromised, requiring users to repeat the process and potentially delaying results from downstream applications.
Users of the EZ1 Advanced XL instrument for nucleic acid purification, particularly laboratory technicians and physicians trained in molecular biology. Those who have the specific model number 9001492 are most at risk.
