Beckman Coulter has determined that additional clarification for the Blast Suspect messages is necessary. In rare situations, the LH 750, LH 780, LH 500 and HmX Analyzers may not flag or detect blasts in some blood samples.
Beckman Coulter is recalling the LH 750 and LH 780 Hematology Systems because the optical degradation may potentially cause a delay in reporting results for nucleated red blood cells (nRBC), white blood cell differential and/or reticulocytes.
The check valves may fail on the Coulter LH 750 Hematology Analyzer (PN 6605632 and A85570) and Coulter LH 780 Hematology Analyzer (PN 723585 and A90728). A failure may result in an air or liquid leak at the connection to the Vacuum Overflow Tank waste line or at the Backwash Tank drain line.
The recall was initiated because Beckman Coulter has confirmed that the Auto Stop and Auto Transmit features for Quality Control become disabled after scanning assay values from Coulter 5C and Retic-C Cell Controls assay sheets using the 2D Barcode scanner.
The recall was initiated by Beckman Coulter because the COULTER LYSE III diff Lytic Reagent Lot number 101554F was released for distribution to customers between November 17 and December 1, 2010 prior to completion of QC testing.
