Type of communication:
Medical Device Recall
Subcategory:
Medical Device
Hazard classification:
Type III
Source of recall:
Health Canada
Issue:
Medical Devices
Audience:
General Public, Healthcare Professionals, Hospitals
Identification number:
RA-62856

Affected Products

  1. Unicel DxC 600i Synchron Access Clinical Analyzer
  2. Access Immunoassay System - Analyzer Class 3
  3. Access System Access 2 Analyzer - Class 2
  4. Access2 Immunoassay System

Reason

Beckman Coulter has confirmed through internal investigation that the access reaction vessel (RV) lots listed fail to meet a specification for outside diameter on the open ended side of the RV.
- The RV lots listed may cause aliquot vessel (AV) shuttle motion errors when they are loaded onto the Unicel DXC 600i Synchron Access Clinical System through the closed tube aliquotter (CTA). There is no impact to patient results.
- Internal testing did not demonstrate shuttle motion errors on the access 2 standalone system.
