Reason for Recall

Beckman Coulter is recalling their DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzers, an in vitro diagnostic device used for the quantitative, semi-quantitative, or qualitative determination of various analyte concentrations found in human body fluids, by correction. The reason for the recall is: Beckman Coulter has determined that the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay analyzer accepts calibrator values scanned from multiple calibrator cards when an operator configures a new calibrator lot. The analyzer accepts the calibrator lot values from any scanned calibrator card, regardless of the assay test code or calibrator material lot number. The software is not validating the integrity of each calibrator barcode scanned to ensure they are all from the same calibrator card. This includes all software versions and all DxI 9000 instruments that are currently in the field. This issue does not impact calibrator material with 2D calibrator card barcodes. This may cause a failed calibration curve. The health risk to patients is dependent upon the analytes that could be impacted by the error, to include receiving delayed or erroneous results. The issue was identified by Beckman Coulter while conducting a field action on DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzers.

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 11/26/2025
  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 11/10/2025
  Due to specific lots of diluents contributing to elevated platelet Daily Checks background counts cycle with use with analyzers.
• 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.
