App-derived interpretation

Unknown reason.no_named_rule · v1.0.0
Reported customer complaints of automated hematology analyzers catching fire due to misalignment of an internal protective sheet that shields electronic components from salty reagents. Build-up of salt deposits on unprotected electronic components may combust due to heat generated by electronics when instrument cycles. Completed CAPA identified the root cause as supplier providing defective component (sensor ready valve) and the misalignment of the electronic protective shield during manufacturing of the device.
