What the record says

Product
HORIBA custom configured fluorescence instrument, modular Fluorolog-QM
Reason
HORIBA custom configured fluorescence instrument has a laser safety defect. This custom configuration of the modular Instrument removed the primary light source and the excitation monochromator. A plastic cap was installed to plug the optical port, where a more durable beam stop should have been used. The defect may allow the class 4 laser beam to burn (or transmit) through the plastic cap to exit the protective enclosure.
