Reason for recall

A mitigation may not be correctly implemented. If this is the case, the detector can fall, leading to life-threatening bodily injury.

Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
