Other Recalls by Beckman Coulter, Inc.

• Class II: Risk 12/23/2025
  Sample preparation system designed to automate staining, lysing, cell washing has a software error that causes samples to be dispensed close to or touching tube bottoms, which could dislodge fluid line, result in sample loss, spillage, make instrument inoperable and will lead to unintentional removal of 60-100 microliters from final sample, may lead to incorrect diagnosis or patient management.
• Class II: Risk 11/26/2025
  Beckman Coulter has determined that, due to a potential communication issue, the analyzers listed above may not successfully restart following a standard shutdown, even after multiple attempts. If this issue occurs, the instrument will be unable to complete initialization and transition to Ready mode and the instrument will not process patient samples, QCs or calibrators. This causes delayed results.

• Class II: Risk 11/07/2025
  It has been determined that certain lots of Access 2 Reaction Vessels may contain manufacturing deformities. The bottom (round end) of the Reaction Vessel may have a small protrusion or hair like deformity. This could cause causing instrument errors (e.g., pipetting, rake, wash carousel errors) that could delay patient results.
• Class II: Risk 10/01/2025
  An internal investigation has determined that due to defective sub-components within the gantry assembly, a z-axis CAD movement motion error may occur and cause an analyzer to enter a Not Ready or Paused state, leading to a delay in obtaining results.
