No specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, and the issue is a software logic error rather than a direct physical hazard.
Plain-English summary
Beckman Coulter Inc. is recalling the MicroScan LabPro Information Manager System, software versions 1.0 to 4.41. The recall involves 2,702 units total, including 1,032 units in the United States. The software is a Microsoft Windows-based program intended to manage microbial identification and antimicrobial agent susceptibility testing data for trained laboratory personnel.
The recall is being conducted because the software incorrectly allows the operator to manually edit carbohydrate substrates when manually reading dried overnight gram-negative panels with an ID Hold status. This defect could potentially affect the accuracy of the data management system.
The affected software was distributed to various countries, including the United States, Canada, Japan, and several European and South American nations. Laboratory personnel using this software should contact Beckman Coulter for further instructions on how to address the issue.
