Beckman Coulter IRISpec CA Control glucose measurement failures recalled

Beckman Coulter is recalling IRISpec CA/CB/CC control kits due to failures in glucose measurement for the CA Control component. The recall affects laboratory quality control products distributed worldwide.

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: FDA Class III classification combined with no reported illnesses or injuries indicates lower risk. The hazard is a functional failure in a quality control product rather than an acute physical or biological safety threat.
