Reason for Recall
Analyzer has calibration issues where curves switched from passed to failed due to system errors during aspiration. This anomaly causes erroneous results and delays if unnoticed. RLU values may be misinterpreted as valid measurements by LIS.
Firm Action
The firm began notifying customers the week of May 7, 2025 via Urgent Medical Device Recall letters. Only analyzers running software version 1.20 are affected. Customers were provided with instructions on what to do if they observe a calibration that remains in the "In Progress" or "Presented" state.
Beckman Coulter will release a service modification to change a configuration setting to prevent this issue. Your service representative will schedule the service modification installation when it is available. In the meantime, it is recommended that customers share the content of this letter with your laboratory and/or medical director to determine if a review of previous patient test results is necessary. Beckman Coulter recommends posting the recall letter on or near the affected systems until corrections have been made.
