Immunoassay reaction vessels recalled over manufacturing deformities causing instrument errors
Beckman Coulter is recalling 38,225 Access 2 Reaction Vessels because certain lots may have a small protrusion or hair-like deformity that can cause instrument errors and delay patient results.
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: Scored 2 because the record's stated consequence is instrument errors that could delay results, with no erroneous results or reported harm.
Plain-English summary

Certain lots may contain manufacturing deformities: the bottom, round end of the reaction vessel may have a small protrusion or hair-like deformity. The firm states this could cause instrument errors, for example pipetting, rake or wash carousel errors, that could delay patient results.

The stated consequence in the enforcement record is instrument errors that could delay patient results, and no injuries are reported. Laboratories should follow Beckman Coulter's instructions.
