Sysmex Corporation is recalling XN-10 and XN-20 hematology analyzers due to a potential for elevated hemoglobin and impedance platelet count values.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device with a potential for inaccurate diagnostic values (elevated hemoglobin and platelet counts), which poses a risk of harm to patients through misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Sysmex Corporation is recalling the XN-Series modules (XN-10 and XN-20), which are quantitative multi-parameter automated hematology analyzers intended for in vitro diagnostic use in clinical laboratories. The recall is issued because there is a potential for elevated hemoglobin (Hgb) and impedance platelet count (PLT-I) values.
The recall affects 1,137 units in the United States, 54 units in Canada, and 9 units in inventory. The correction is limited to XN-10 and XN-20 units distributed by Sysmex America, Inc., installed at end-user sites in the US, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Specific serial number ranges for the XN-10 and XN-20 models are identified in the official recall notice.
Clinical laboratories using these devices should contact Sysmex Corporation for instructions on how to address the potential for elevated values. The source text does not specify a deadline or additional consumer actions beyond the manufacturer's correction process.
