Recalled products

Reason

Beckman Coulter has determined that the Navios Flow Cytometer instructions for use (IFU) states that when a drip chamber level warning occurs, the instrument will acquire for at least 5 minutes longer after the drip chamber level warning message is displayed. However, the system may only acquire for as little as 3 minutes after the drip chamber level warning and will provide drip chamber level error. At that time, the instrument will abort acquisition and does not save the listmode file, and data are lost.
