Plain-English summary
Beckman Coulter, Inc. is recalling 128 DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer units running software version 1.16 or earlier. These analyzers are used in clinical laboratories to measure hormone and drug levels in patient samples.
Four software bugs have been identified that could cause the analyzer to produce erroneous results or delay result reporting: (1) incorrect conversion factor applied when insulin measurements are configured in SI units (pmol/L); (2) numerical results reported below the lowest valid measurement range when non-default units are used; (3) a result of 0 incorrectly displayed when calculated results use non-numerical symbols such as > or <; and (4) mismatched assay coding when reserve volume is enabled and the LIS code differs from the Test ID.
The affected analyzers are distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and in 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.
Healthcare facilities using affected analyzers should verify their device serial numbers against the recall list and contact Beckman Coulter for remediation instructions.
