The recalling firm characterized the potential interference effects of biotin (up to 1,200 ng/mL) on all biotin-mediated Access assays. The following six assays: Free T3-REF A13422, Total T3-REF 33830, Free T4-REF 33880, GI Mon-387687, Tg-REF 33860, and TgAbII-REF A32898 displayed significant interference (defined as a result bias greater than +/-10%) at 1,200 ng/mL of biotin.
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 because Beckman Coulter has confirmed that the current sample syringe pump drive assemblies installed on DxC Integrated ystem with UniCel Closted Tube Aliquotter (UCTA) serial numbers between 547 and 574 may cause a hardware motion error (ID0x08000501).
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.
The hose clamps in the DxC (with serial numbers less than 3412, labeled behind the lower right side instrument door) hydropneumatic system are sharp and pose a possible risk of injury. An operator could be cut by the hose clamps, which could in turn result in increased exposure to any waste products (biohazards) that might be present on the assembly.
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.
The recall was initiated because Cartridge Glucose (GLU) on UniCel DxC and Synchron LX instruments may give falsely high results for moderately hemolysed samples. The Impact: (1) Neonatal samples drawn by lancets are more likely to be hemolysed to a degree sufficient to cause interference with glucose estimation and are a special at-risk population, (2) Other hemolysed samples may be similar
Excessive Buildup of protein, bacteria and sample tube additives in the ISE flow cell may cause erroneous NA (sodium) results.
