UniCel DxI 800 analyzer motor current resets below the required setting
UniCel DxI 800 Access Immunoassay Analyzers are being recalled because software overwrites the factory PnP X-motor current setting, causing increased motion errors that could delay patient results. 2,203 systems affected.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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 recall where the stated consequence is a delay in reporting results rather than an incorrect patient result.
