Reason for Recall
Beckman Coulter is recalling their DxC 500 AU Clinical Chemistry Analyzer because a software error causes the analyzer to not run a requested calibration order in the following scenario: when a reagent blank or calibration is ordered during sample processing and then any of the components (R1 and/or R2) depletes to zero tests, the analyzer will not be able to complete the calibration request, and the calibration order will remain pending. No further calibration orders can be processed for any assays, and the instrument refuses to accept further sample processing order after the existing calibration curves are expired. Although in-process tests will be completed, this error can cause a delay in reporting subsequent test results. No further calibration orders can be processed for any assays which may cause a delay in reporting test results.
