Continued system functionality requires access to manufacturer-controlled service tools, system configurations, and software environments that are not publicly available. These services are essential to maintaining the system s performance, ensuring clinical accuracy, and supporting uninterrupted lab operations. Failure to maintain OEM-level support would compromise system integrity and the ability to safely deliver patient care.
