Due to manufacturing issue (incorrectly processing) with in vitro multidrug resistant test.

Due to a manufacturing issue - missing a drug in well 4/4 but contain double the amount of antibiotics

Due to the likely presence of contamination in well(s).

A delay in results may occur. When clinical chemistry analyzer calibration monitor with PC installed with Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Express is open beyond15 minutes may lead to: Reagent Blank and calibration databases not opening errors: CAL History DB Open Error.., RB History DB Open Error..; system will stop analyzing, firm service must visit to apply software solution; may lead to delay in diagnosis and/or patient treatment

Sample preparation system designed to automate staining, lysing, cell washing has a software error that causes samples to be dispensed close to or touching tube bottoms, which could dislodge fluid line, result in sample loss, spillage, make instrument inoperable and will lead to unintentional removal of 60-100 microliters from final sample, may lead to incorrect diagnosis or patient management.

Due to specific lots of diluents contributing to elevated platelet Daily Checks background counts cycle with use with analyzers.

Beckman Coulter identified that LDL Cholesterol OSR6x96 is not meeting the performance claim listed in the Instructions for Use (IFU). LDL Cholesterol reagent showed clinically significant interference due to triglyceride concentration up to 1500 mg/dL may cause a maximum positive bias of up to 28.8% in low LDL Cholesterol samples (concentration 80 mg/dL) and up to 11.02% in high LDL Cholesterol samples (concentration 160mg/dL).

Beckman Coulter has determined that, due to a potential communication issue, the analyzers listed above may not successfully restart following a standard shutdown, even after multiple attempts. If this issue occurs, the instrument will be unable to complete initialization and transition to Ready mode and the instrument will not process patient samples, QCs or calibrators. This causes delayed results.

Bicarbonate reagent may generate falsely high Bicarbonate results due to interference with Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) in the test sample.

It has been determined that certain lots of Access 2 Reaction Vessels may contain manufacturing deformities. The bottom (round end) of the Reaction Vessel may have a small protrusion or hair like deformity. This could cause causing instrument errors (e.g., pipetting, rake, wash carousel errors) that could delay patient results.

Due to a software error code that crashes during acquisition on patient sample when running customer defined acquisition protocol. This may lead to delayed patient results.

Beckman Coulter has identified that there is an increased probability Synchron Systems Direct LDL Cholesterol (LDLD REF 969706) reagent lot M404166 may generate false high results. The issue was discovered internally and confirmed on August 19, 2025 by Beckman Coulter.

An internal investigation has determined that due to defective sub-components within the gantry assembly, a z-axis CAD movement motion error may occur and cause an analyzer to enter a Not Ready or Paused state, leading to a delay in obtaining results.

Automated pipetting, diluting and specimen processing workstations for flow cytometric analysis device instructions for use list incorrect dead volumes: Cassette Type/List volume/correct volume, B/750/1582 microliters, and E/1300/2093 microliters. Device software does not rock Cassette E, used with 15mmX92mm Sarstedt tubes. May lead to incorrect diagnosis or error in patient management/treatment.

The recall was initiated because Beckman Coulter has confirmed customer reports of QC shifts, lot-to-lot variation, and an increase in the percent of patient samples recovering >20 IU/mL using the Lots# M012376 and M101865 of IMMAGE RF reagent. The lots identified for the RF reagent might produce false abnormal results.

The recall was initiated because Beckman Coulter has confirmed that the Coulter PrepPlus may experience intermittant reagent level sense failures where the instrument may not produce a warning that a reagent vial is low or out of reagent.
