- Reason
- The rinse-line check valve has a shorter service lifespan than originally expected and requires annual replacement to prevent lamina fluid leakage; however, the check valve replacement was excluded from the annual preventive maintenance (PM) requirements without adequate reliability evaluation. When the check valve is not replaced annually, it may allow lamina fluid to migrate internally and leak onto the table or floor, potentially resulting in exposure to physical hazards (slip/fall), chemical hazards (lamina fluid exposure), biohazardous exposure, property damage, and delayed patient results.

- 15 July 2026
- Reason
- a software defect in which the Parameter Package (PP) import logic overwrites all predefined calculated test rules, including those previously modified by the user, upon import of a new Parameter Package version. As a result, usercustomized calculated test rules revert silently to their default expressions, potentially generating erroneous patient test results without an explicit error notification. The issue affects instruments running software version 1.5 or lower and only occurs when a new Parameter Package is imported to a system that already has an existing Parameter Package onboard; new installations are not affected.

- Reason
- Beckman Coulter has identified that Access Total T4 Calibrator lots (PN 33805) exhibit a negative bias on DxI 600/800 instruments, with slopes outside product specifications. A false low patient result could cause a patient to undergo unnecessary additional diagnostic testing. A patient may be treated for a disorder not present or receive delayed treatment for hyperthyroidism. For a pregnant patient being monitored for thyroid hormone supplementation, incorrect treatment or dose may be used. A delayed patient results could cause repeat blood draw with associated complications.

- Beckman Coulter is recalling their DxC 500 AU Clinical Chemistry Analyzer because a software error causes the analyzer to not run a requested calibration order in the following scenario: when a reagent blank or calibration is ordered during sample processing and then any of the components (R1 and/or R2) depletes to zero tests, the analyzer will not be able to complete the calibration request, and the calibration order will remain pending. No further calibration orders can be processed for any assays, and the instrument refuses to accept further sample processing order after the existing calibration curves are expired. Although in-process tests will be completed, this error can cause a delay in reporting subsequent test results. No further calibration orders can be processed for any assays which may cause a delay in reporting test results.

- Reason
- When a DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer is connected to a Laboratory Automation System (LAS) and is running with the system software versions 1.17.0 and below, the analyzer does not send a message to the LAS when the sample wheel is full, and the LAS continues sending samples despite the limited capacity to process new samples. Therefore, sample tests may be aliquoted but not processed when the number of tests associated with onboard patient samples exceeds the throughput limit. If this issue occurs test results are flagged with a sample wheel timeout (SWT) error flag, and there may be a delay in reporting test results which could lead to a delay in patient treatment.

- 18 April 2024
- Reason
- Beckman Coulter is recalling their DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzers, an in vitro diagnostic device used for the quantitative, semi-quantitative, or qualitative determination of various analyte concentrations found in human body fluids, by correction. The reason for the recall is: Beckman Coulter has determined that the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay analyzer accepts calibrator values scanned from multiple calibrator cards when an operator configures a new calibrator lot. The analyzer accepts the calibrator lot values from any scanned calibrator card, regardless of the assay test code or calibrator material lot number. The software is not validating the integrity of each calibrator barcode scanned to ensure they are all from the same calibrator card. This includes all software versions and all DxI 9000 instruments that are currently in the field. This issue does not impact calibrator material with 2D calibrator card barcodes. This may cause a failed calibration curve. The health risk to patients is dependent upon the analytes that could be impacted by the error, to include receiving delayed or erroneous results. The issue was identified by Beckman Coulter while conducting a field action on DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzers.

- Recall started
- 29 February 2024
- Reason
- The reason for the recall is the pneumatic tubing used in the analytical pick-and-place (PnP) assembly cable may fully or partially disconnect from the flex cable assembly fittings during normal operation. The DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer may generate a System Event log message that indicates PnP errors. Any cancelled tests will have an associated SYS flag. The analyzer may enter the Red-system status because of this issue. The analyzer also may not eject RVs, where unbound conjugate could potentially splash up on the sidewall of the RV, not being properly washed away, resulting in an artificially higher signal (RLU). The analyzer may not detect this splashing and continue with normal operation, which can cause false low or high erroneous results. Consequently, the analyzer may cancel in-progress tests. These errors could potentially cause delay reporting patient test results and patient treatments. The degree of the potential health hazard is dependent on the analytes that are potentially delayed, especially those analytes that would be used in the acute setting when treatment decisions are immediate. In this particular recall the highest risk analyte is troponin. Health consequences could include permanent impairment or possibly death if medical treatment decisions are delayed due to a delay in obtaining patient results. The issue was identified by Beckman Coulter Inc. manufacturing staff at their location in Brea California on February 29, 2024, during in-process acceptance inspection activities.

- The firm has investigated and confirmed that when DxI 9000 is connected to Laboratory Information System (LIS, host), the sample barcode presented may be ignored and replaced with a sample ID that was previously in the same rack and position. This will cause a delay of result to the sample currently presented to the system (Sample B) and may result in an erroneous test result for the prior sample (Sample A), which gets associated with the results of sample B.

- Beckman Coulter, Inc. is recalling Ringed DxI Reaction Vessels (RVs) as part of Unicel DxI Immunoassay System (600, 800 series). The reason for the recall is that the firm has identified 3 lots of RVs that failed an internally used service test to evaluate washing efficiency. Increased relative light units (RLU) suspected to be caused by the resulting rough interior surface may lead to artificially falsely elevated results for susceptible tests, in particular, sandwich assays including, but not limited to, hsTnI, Hybritech p2PSA, IPTH/IPTH IO.

- Reason
- The reagent lot produces elevated results (approximately >30%) in some (15-20%)patient samples that do not correlate with the results of other thyroid markers nor Free T3 results generated on other platforms. This introduces a risk of the positive bias not being detected by QC with the potential that clinical correlation with other thyroid function tests will be inconsistent requiring additional testing; however the clinical assessment and treatment decisions are not made in isolation on a single test result especially, in the setting of thyroid function testing. False positive test results could lead to a euthyroid patient being interpreted clinically as having elevated thyroid function (hyperthyroid) or a hypothyroid patient being within the normal range. Such misdiagnoses may lead to inappropriate treatment of a euthyroid patient with anti-thyroid medications or hypothyroid patient not getting sufficient treatment since their free T3 test result demonstrates them to be in the euthyroid range.

- 6 July 2023
- Reason
- Beckman Coulter has determined that there is a potential for under-reporting casts. This can occur if per high-power field (/HPF) units of measurement for casts are selected in the iQ200 software, but the abnormal threshold and/or grading format is set up based on reporting per low-power field (/LPF)* or *per microliter. This may occur during initial method validation or if settings are altered after the initial validation.
