Hello Flowers This is for all of you who have use the FACS Calibur. I have been having problems with the laser air filter on my instrument. This is the filter that sits above the sheath/ waste drawer, and below the laser assembly. Everytime I open the drawer, the sheath tank fluid resistor cap catches the edge of the filter and tears it apart. I ahve gone through four filters within a very short period of time because of this. I have an alder FACScan, and I compared the filters, and have noticed that the filter on the calibur is about 1/8 of an inch thicker than that on the Scan. I also believe that the older filter is made sturdier. I ahve called BD about this, and theu assured me that they would look into it, but haven't heard of anyone else having problems. My question then, IS anyone else having these problems? I just ordered these filters, so I am thinkng that they may just be defective. If anyone is having problems, you should call the BD customer support number.
