Beckman Coulter has recalled 384 units of various microscopy analyzers and spare parts, including the DxU 850m/840m and iQ200 series, due to a defect where the internal cannula may rust. This rusting occurs in the Flowcell and the iQClear Rinse Waste Well Assembly and can interfere with the device's performance. The presence of rust has the potential to cause the machines to generate incorrect or erroneous diagnostic results, which could impact patient care decisions. These medical devices were distributed globally between December 2023 and January 2024.
Rust forming on the internal cannula can contaminate the fluid path of the microscopy analyzer, leading to inaccurate diagnostic data or false readings during urine and blood microscopy analysis. No specific injuries have been reported, but erroneous medical results can lead to delayed or inappropriate clinical treatments.
Contact manufacturer for technical inspection and replacement of rusted components.
