Beckman Coulter Recalls UniCel DxC 600i Systems Due to Burn Risk
Beckman Coulter is recalling two UniCel DxC 600i SYNCHRON Access Clinical Systems because a tool may contact a board and cause minor skin burns during alignment.
What this means for you
Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.
Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as a Class III recall, and the source text explicitly describes the hazard as a 'minor skin burn,' which aligns with the rubric for cosmetic defects or low-risk issues unlikely to cause adverse health consequences.
