Plain-English summary
The Beckman Coulter UniCel DxI 600, part numbers A71460, A71461 and A30260, an immunoassay analyzer, is being recalled.
Beckman Coulter has determined that, due to a potential communication issue, the analyzers may not successfully restart following a standard shutdown, even after multiple attempts. If this issue occurs, the instrument will be unable to complete initialization and transition to Ready mode, and will not process patient samples, quality controls or calibrators, which the firm states causes delayed results.
