Immunoassay analyzers recalled over gantry defect that pauses the instrument
Beckman Coulter is recalling 80 UniCel DxI 600 analyzers because defective gantry sub-components can cause a z-axis motion error that halts the analyzer and delays results.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: an analyzer halting mid-run delays patient results, and no injuries are reported.
Plain-English summary
The Beckman Coulter UniCel DxI 600 photometric chemistry analyzer, part numbers A71460 and A30260, is being recalled.
An internal investigation 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.
The recall covers 80 units, including UDI/DI 15099590369224, distributed worldwide. The FDA has classified the action as Class II.
The enforcement record describes the fault and reports no injuries. Laboratories operating an affected analyzer should follow Beckman Coulter's instructions.
