Beckman Coulter is recalling 116 units of the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer, an automated laboratory device used to test human body fluids for various medical conditions. The recall was initiated because the device's software fails to verify that calibration barcodes belong to the same test kit, allowing the analyzer to accept mismatched values from different calibration cards. This software error can lead to a failed calibration curve, which may cause the machine to produce delayed or incorrect medical test results for patients. Beckman Coulter discovered the issue during field actions on the instruments and is currently notifying affected customers by letter.
The software does not properly validate the integrity of scanned barcodes, which can result in the analyzer using incorrect settings for medical tests. This may lead to clinicians receiving inaccurate or delayed diagnostic data, potentially impacting patient treatment decisions.
