Plain-English summary
Beckman Coulter Inc. is recalling 2,225 units of the iChemVELOCITY Urine Chemistry System. The affected devices are in vitro diagnostic instruments used in clinical laboratories to automate urine chemistry analysis. The recall covers units with North American configuration settings that were distributed worldwide, including in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey.
The recall was initiated because there is a potential for incorrect settings to be installed on the analyzers. If International settings are installed on North American units, the device may generate erroneous, false low results for certain analytes at specific concentrations. Additionally, if output settings are configured with colors different from those specified in the Instructions for Use, the device will report incorrect colors for the urine sample.
Clinical laboratories and healthcare facilities should contact Beckman Coulter to verify the configuration of their iChemVELOCITY systems. Users should ensure that the devices are set to the correct North American configuration and that output color settings match the manufacturer's instructions to prevent inaccurate diagnostic results.
