Beckman Coulter has recalled 873 units of the Access 2 Immunoassay Analyzer because an internal motor may have been manufactured with improper alignment. Due to a worn production tool used by a supplier, the sample motors can rub against internal components like the wheelbase plate and index sensor, potentially causing the machine to fail. This defect can lead to a significant delay in generating and reporting patient test results.
A faulty sample motor can cause the diagnostic analyzer to malfunction, which prevents laboratory staff from providing timely test results to doctors. While no injuries have been reported, delays in diagnostic information can negatively impact clinical decisions and patient care.
