Beckman Coulter Recalls LH 750 and LH 780 Hematology Systems
Beckman Coulter is recalling LH 750 and LH 780 Hematology Systems because optical degradation may delay reporting results for specific blood cell counts.
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, but the source text does not report any hospitalizations, injuries, or illnesses. The hazard is a potential delay in reporting results due to optical degradation, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving a risk of harm without reported injury.
Plain-English summary
Beckman Coulter Inc. is recalling the LH 750 and LH 780 Hematology Systems. These devices are quantitative, automated hematology analyzers and leukocyte differential counters used for in vitro diagnostic purposes in clinical laboratories. The recall affects 1,961 units total, with 610 units distributed in the United States and the remainder distributed worldwide.
The recall is being conducted because optical degradation in the systems may potentially cause a delay in reporting results for nucleated red blood cells (nRBC), white blood cell differential, and/or reticulocytes.
