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: FDA Class II device with no reported illnesses or hospitalizations. The software defect creates a risk of delays in patient test result reporting, matching the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Beckman Coulter, Inc. is recalling 183 DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer devices. The recalled units are running software versions 1.17 and below.
When a DxI 9000 analyzer is connected to a Laboratory Automation System and operating on the affected software versions, the analyzer sends out-of-sequence messages back to the automation system. These messages trigger error displays on the connected system, such as sample pick-and-place errors or "no result obtained" flags. As a result, there is a risk of delays in processing and reporting patient test results, potentially delaying patient treatment.
The recalled devices have been distributed worldwide, including in the United States (California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Texas) and internationally in Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Croatia, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, and United Kingdom.
