Beckman Coulter recalls DxI 600 Access Immunoassay Analyzers with specific serial numbers due to software issues causing potential delays in patient test results. Affected units may require correction to prevent reporting errors.
Beckman Coulter has identified that the UniCel DxI 600/800 systems with linear slide PnP gantries running software versions 5.7 and up faced incorrect PnP X-motor current settings where the PnP X-motor current incorrectly resets to 1.5A (instead of the required 2.0A) because the software overwrites the factory setting during installs or upgrades. This anomaly causes increased PnP motion errors which could lead to delays in reporting patient sample results if unnoticed.
Beckman Coulter is recalling certain DxI 600 Access Immunoassay Analyzers that have software issues causing incorrect motor settings. This could lead to delays in reporting patient test results if the problem goes unnoticed.
The software incorrectly sets the X-motor current to 1.5A instead of the required 2.0A during installations or upgrades. This causes motion errors that might delay patient test results if not corrected.
Healthcare facilities using the affected DxI 600 Access Immunoassay Analyzers with specific serial numbers are most at risk. The issue affects laboratory equipment that processes patient samples.
Check if your DxI 600 Access Immunoassay Analyzer has the part number A71460 and one of the listed serial numbers. The recall covers specific units identified by these numbers.
Verify the X-motor current setting in the software to ensure it's set to 2.0A, not 1.5A.
Beckman Coulter identified that the software overwrites the factory X-motor current setting during installations or upgrades, causing incorrect settings that may delay test results.
Check if your DxI 600 Access Immunoassay Analyzer has the part number A71460 and one of the listed serial numbers in the recall notice.
No, but you should check the X-motor current setting to ensure it's set to 2.0A. The recall does not require immediate discontinuation.
