Reason for Recall

Beckman Coulter has identified that the UniCel DxI 600/800 systems with linear slide PnP gantries running software versions 5.7 and up faced incorrect PnP X-motor current settings where the PnP X-motor current incorrectly resets to 1.5A (instead of the required 2.0A) because the software overwrites the factory setting during installs or upgrades. This anomaly causes increased PnP motion errors which could lead to delays in reporting patient sample results if unnoticed.

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 11/10/2025
  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.
