Reason for recall
Beckman Coulter has determined that device software versions V1.3, V1.4, V1.4.1, V1.4.2, V1.4.3. have a defect due of which, when all constituent tests of a calculated result are rerun, either manually ordered by the operator at the analyzer or automatically triggered by predefined rules in System Configuration, the calculated result will not be recalculated using the constituent tests rerun results. The system will report only the calculated result using the initial constituent tests results to the operator and LIS/Remisol. The issue was identified by Beckman Coulter internal engineering testing. The defect may cause a delay in reporting patient results.
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
