Wasatch Photonics Raman Spectrometers Recalled for Potential Laser Safety Failures
Wasatch Photonics is recalling 192 Raman spectrometers due to two potential laser safety failures. The devices could experience laser diode overcurrent or fail-unsafe conditions under extreme vibration or excessive force, though no incidents have been reported.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of a laser safety device where potential failure modes could result in unsafe laser operation. However, no incidents have been reported in the field or factory, and the failure modes are theoretical, occurring only under extreme conditions. This warrants a High severity rating as a risk-of-harm product, but does not reach Severe status without reported injuries.
Plain-English summary
Wasatch Photonics is recalling certain Raman spectrometer models (785-SR-ILP, 785-SR-ILC, 830-SR-ILP, 830-SR-ILC, 785-ER-ILC) distributed in the United States. The recall affects 192 units.
The company identified two potential laser safety failure modes in the device design: overcurrent of the laser diode and a fail-unsafe mode. These failure modes have never occurred in these models in either field use or factory testing, but could potentially occur under conditions of excessive force or extreme, continuous vibration.
Affected users should stop using the devices and contact Wasatch Photonics for remedial action. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall.
