Beckman Coulter Recalls DxH 800 and 600 Hematology Analyzer Software
Beckman Coulter is recalling specific software versions for its DxH 800 and DxH 600 hematology analyzers because the software allows the creation of multiple orders with the same specimen ID but different patient IDs.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a software defect that allows duplicate specimen IDs with different patient IDs, which is a data integrity issue. No specific injuries, illnesses, or deaths are reported in the source text, and the risk is theoretical regarding patient safety outcomes, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
Plain-English summary
Beckman Coulter Inc. is recalling the UniCel DxH 800 Coulter Cellular Analysis System, Software Version 3.0.2.0, and the DxH 600 software version 1.1.1.0. These are quantitative, multi-parameter, automated hematology analyzers used for in vitro diagnostic purposes in clinical laboratories to screen patient populations. The recall involves 3,951 units total, with 1,975 units located in the United States and the remainder distributed internationally.
The recall is being conducted because the software for the DxH systems allows the creation of multiple orders with the same Specimen identification (ID) but different Patient identification when manually editing pending orders at the System Manager. This defect could potentially lead to data integrity issues within the laboratory system.
The affected products are identified by Part Nos. 629029, B24465, and B24802. The recall covers all serial numbers for these part numbers. The products were distributed nationwide in the US and internationally to numerous countries including Australia, Canada, China, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
