Reason for recall
When the fixation ring is taken off the paper liner there is a potential for fractions of the paper liner's surface coating to stick to the surface of the ring.
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.
