Beckman coulter has received complaints regarding leaking and cracked C cups. When the cup cracks, coolant can leak onto the connectors of the Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) in the analyzer, resulting in a short-circuit causing the instrument to go into a stop mode.

ISE REF Valve, Part No. MU7638 for the AU480, AU680, and AU5800 Chemistry Analyzer. Automated chemistry analyzers that measures analytes in samples.

2013-09-09

The recall was initiated because Beckman Coulter has confirmed that some AU Clinical Chemistry Analyzer ISE units can experience premature ISE REF (Reference) valve failure. Premature valve failure can be detected by the presence of air bubbles in the ISE REF solution tubing on the ISE unit. If air bubbles are present, accuracy of the ISE test results may be affected.

AU Clinical Chemistry Analyzers: Model Number: AU400 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer, AU400(e) Clinical Chemistry Analyzer, AU480 Clinical Chemistry Analyzer. The AU Clinical Chemistry Analyzers are fully automated photometric analyzers intended for clinical laboratory use. Applications include colori
