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 II medical device with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is operational—potential delay in test result reporting—rather than direct patient harm. Per the rubric, when the hazard is theoretical and no illnesses are reported, the score is at most 3; Class II classification without injury reports indicates Moderate severity.
Plain-English summary
Beckman Coulter, Inc. is recalling the Access 2 Immunoassay Analyzer (Catalog Number 81600N) due to improper alignment of the sample motors (B48016). The misalignment causes the motors to rub against the sample wheelbase plate and index sensor. This issue was traced to a worn tool used in production at the supplier.
