Beckman Coulter has recalled approximately 56 DxC 500 AU Clinical Chemistry Analyzers because a software defect can cause the machines to use expired testing chemicals (assays). This error happens when the system's software is upgraded while assays are already loaded, leading the machine to display incorrect expiration dates. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date, but the company initiated this voluntary recall to prevent medical errors.
If the analyzer uses expired chemicals for testing, it may produce inaccurate or erroneous lab results. These incorrect results could lead healthcare providers to make improper diagnosis or treatment decisions for patients.
