What the record says
- Product
- Leica Biosystems Cryostat Model Number CM1100, Material Number 14046931130, for freezing and sectioning tissue samples
- Reason
- As part of our post market surveillance, we recognized that some customers are using flammable freezing sprays within the cryostat chamber. All flammable freezing sprays can potentially ignite and therefore can cause serious injuries. The flammability is indicated on the labelling of these sprays. The cryostat labelling, however, did not include any specific warning about usage of flammable freezing sprays prior to 2019.
