Contact Beckman Coulter about your AU5800 analyzer

Beckman Coulter AU5800 chemistry analyzers with certain software configurations may experience errors that prevent the system from opening calibration databases after running for more than 15 minutes. When this happens, the analyzer stops working and requires a service technician to fix it, which can delay patient test results and treatment.

  • If you operate an AU5800 analyzer, contact Beckman Coulter service immediately to determine if your unit is affected.
  • Do not ignore database error messages—they indicate the problem has occurred.
  • Schedule a service visit to apply the software fix before the system fails during patient testing.
