Reason for recall

At doses of less than 100 mJ, in custom and auto repeat modes, a software error in the excimer laser phototherapy system causes the device to fail to cease firing as long as the foot pedal or handpiece switch is depressed. This malfunction can cause overtreatment, which could result in strong erythema, and possibly cause blisters.
