Beckman Coulter recalls UniCel DxI 600 photometric analyzers with specific part numbers and serials due to potential z-axis movement errors causing delays in test results.
An internal investigation has determined that due to defective sub-components within the gantry assembly, a z-axis CAD movement motion error may occur and cause an analyzer to enter a Not Ready or Paused state, leading to a delay in obtaining results.
Beckman Coulter is recalling certain UniCel DxI 600 photometric chemistry analyzers because defective parts in the gantry assembly may cause the device to pause or not be ready, delaying test results. This could affect healthcare providers using the equipment for laboratory testing.
