Plain-English summary
Beckman Coulter, Inc. is recalling Access Ultrasensitive Insulin reagent packs (Catalog Number 33410), which are used exclusively with the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer. The recall affects 19,125 reagent packs that were distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and to 22 other countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
The Access Ultrasensitive Insulin assay protocol file (APF 182 test definition version 6.7 and below) contains an error in its conversion factor. When converting insulin measurements from the analyzer's default units of IU/mL (International Units per milliliter) to SI units of pmol/L (picomoles per liter), the incorrect conversion factor produces inaccurate results.
Healthcare facilities and laboratories using the affected reagent packs may receive incorrect insulin test results. The affected lot numbers are: 125533, 125589, 233656, 233919, 234055, 234339, and 234388 (UDI/DI 15099590230623).
