Reason for Recall

The probe misalignment or bending has the potential to lead to delay in reporting results or incorrect patient results.

Firm Action

Beckman Coulter/Iris sent an Urgent Medical Device Recall letter dated January 30, 2017 to all affected customers to inform them that Iris International has determined that sample probe misalignment or bending on the iChemVELOCITY may lead to a remote possibility of false negative results due to inadequate strip dosing. Customers were informed that Inadequate dosing may lead to incorrect patient results which may not be detected by quality control, or to a delay in reporting results. Incorrect patient results might be observed as an unexpected discrepancy between instrument results and the patient's clinical picture. The greatest impact could occur when proteinuria is not detected. Customers were instructed to complete and return the enclosed Response Form within 10 days.
