Discrete Chemistry Analyzer Recalled Due to Carousel Malfunction
Beckman Coulter is recalling 59 units of its Access 2 Immunoassay System Analyzer due to misaligned index wheels causing carousel motion errors that disable the analyzer and cancel patient tests.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall affecting 59 units of clinical laboratory equipment. The defect causes equipment malfunction rather than a direct patient safety hazard.
Plain-English summary
Beckman Coulter, Inc. is recalling 59 units of its Access 2 Immunoassay System Analyzer due to a defect in the reagent carousel module.
The defect involves misaligned index wheels that cause carousel motion errors or QSMC errors during analyzer operation. When these errors occur, the system becomes non-operational and cancels tests, which can delay patient results.
The affected analyzers were distributed worldwide, including to facilities in the United States (Nebraska, Montana, Louisiana, Texas, New York, California, Michigan, Alabama, Illinois) and in Austria, Belgium, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Switzerland, and Vietnam. Customers with affected units should contact Beckman Coulter for assistance.
