Recall details
- Recalling firm
- Beckman Coulter Inc.
- Reason for recall
- This recall was initiated because Beckman Coulter has received reports of erroneous test results being reported as a result of assay reagent packs being transferred between systems. Erroneous results will be generated as a result of missing or incorrect assay reagents. In these cases both false positive and false negative results are possible, depending upon the assay configuration.
- Action taken
- Beckman Coulter, Inc. sent two (2) Product Corrective Action (PCA) letters (Access letter and DxI letter) with attached Customer Response form the week of August 09, 2010 to the affected customers.

The letter reminded customers that it is critical that they load reagent packs according to the procedure provided in their Access or Access 2 Operators Guide, Instructions for Use, or Help system. A copy of the procedure was included with the letter.
