VITROS 4600 Chemistry System (VITROS 5,1 FS System family member)(product code 6802445) Product Usage: For use in the in vitro quantitative measurement of a variety of analytes of clinical interest, using both VITROS Chemistry Products Slides (colorimetric endpoint, rate, ion-selective electrode, and immunorate methods) and VITROS Chemistry Products MicroTip liquid reagents (spectrophotometric and spectrophotometric immunoassay methods.)

Reason: There is evidence that an electrical short within the systems connector has caused an accumulation of heat which has radiated back through the wiring harness causing the wires and connectors to melt.
