Thermo Fisher Scientific has identified a potential safety hazard that affects the Thermo Scientific Microm HM550 Cryostat product line. A small number of HM550 cryostats may have been built using an incorrect cable with undersized diameter. This may cause overheating of the cable and subsequently a potential cable break. A severe risk of electric shock may result. For safety reasons the manufacturer advises not to use the instrument and to disconnect it from the power supply until it has been checked by a service technician.
