An internal investigation has determined that due to defective sub-components within the gantry assembly, a z-axis CAD movement motion error may occur and cause an analyzer to enter a Not Ready or Paused state, leading to a delay in obtaining results.

When racks are front-loaded onto the sample presentation unit while samples from the automation line are being processed, a scheduling error within the software can cause mishandling of samples during the creation of an aliquot and lead to incorrect results being generated. Affected samples typically yield non-reproducible falsely decreased results by up to 100%, however the potential for falsely …

Beckman Coulter is initiating a field action because some Ultrasonic Transducer Kits were potentially assembled with incorrect mounting screws.

The recall was initiated due to Beckman Coulter receiving a report of results that were associated with incorrect patient identifications when two sample racks advanced into the sample presentation area in one push. The first rack of the two was not scanned. This is referred to as a "pushed pair." If a pushed pair event occurs, results may be associated with the incorrect patient identification.

This recall was initiated because Beckman Coulter has confirmed that for User-Defined Chemistries (UDRs), the polychrome correction is not automatically updated when wavelengths are modified.

This recall was initiated because Beckman Coulter has received reports of erroneous test results being reported as a result of assay reagent packs being transferred between systems. Erroneous results will be generated as a result of missing or incorrect assay reagents. In these cases both false positive and false negative results are possible, depending upon the assay configuration.

This recall was initiated because of software issue was identified in System Software 4.2 and 4.2.1, which may result in the incorrect handling of a wash arm dispense plate motion failure. Instead of generating a red warning event and stopping sample processing, the system will post a yellow caution event and continue to operate with the dispense plate in an elevated position until the instrument

The recall was initiated after Beckman Coulter confirmed reports of a new premature failure of the upper aspirate peristaltic pump in the systems listed above. Premature failure of the pump may negatively affect precision. The failure is limited to those UniCel DXI 800, DXI 600, and DxC 880i systems which have a pump identified with one of the new pump manufacturing numbers (Mfg. Nos.) listed ab
