Beckman Coulter recalls sample probes with defective tips that may cause false low test results in clinical analyzers, leading to delayed treatment. Affected units include specific lots and serial numbers.
Sample probes with defective probe tips, when used with clinical chemistry analyzers, may lead to a lower concentration being dispensed, which may not be detectable by QC checks, which could lead to the reporting of false low test results (Max 34% error at 1.0 microliters and 7% error at 1.6 microliters sample dispensing volume), which may lead to delayed recognition and treatment.
Beckman Coulter is recalling sample probes that may cause false low test results when used with clinical analyzers. This could lead to delayed treatment if the test results are not accurate.
Defective probe tips can cause the analyzer to dispense less sample than intended. This may result in test results being too low to be detected by quality control checks, potentially delaying proper treatment.
Healthcare professionals using clinical chemistry analyzers with the affected sample probes. The risk is low as the error rate is small and does not typically cause serious injury.
Check for serial numbers between 10436 and 2022087656 on the sample probes. Affected units include specific lots (178713114 to 179433670) and model numbers like MU993400.
Look for serial numbers between 10436 and 2022087656 on the sample probes.
Confirm the lot numbers are between 178713114 and 179433670 for affected units.
Defective probe tips may cause the analyzer to dispense less sample, leading to false low test results that could delay treatment. However, the error rate is small (max 34% at 1.0 microliters) and does not typically cause serious injury.
Check the serial number on the probe, which should be between 10436 and 2022087656. Affected units also have lot numbers between 178713114 and 179433670.
No, but you should check your sample probe's serial number and lot number to ensure it is not affected. The risk is low and does not require immediate discontinuation.
