Reason
The recalling firm confirmed that SPA II and III users may encounter probes with unacceptable wear prior to reaching the 2500 piercings guideline indicated in the Instructions for Use (IFU). When the probe is worn, particles from the rubber cap are more likely to clog the probe, resulting in blocked or inadequate sample dispense.
