Reason for Recall

Due to a software issue, the software may incorrectly process the date of birth (DoB) received from the Laboratory Information System (LIS) and when the DoB is set to 01/01/1900 or left empty, REMISOL Advance may incorrectly identify a patient as a newborn, affecting the execution of validation rules based on incorrect reference ranges. The test results are not changed by this software defect and are accurately displayed by REMISOL Advance; however, the evaluation flagging of the results may be affected. This issue may lead to wrong reference range calculations and can result in erroneous flagged results being auto validated and uploaded to LIS.

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.
