Beckman Coulter Recalls Immunochemistry IGM Reagent Lots for Sensitivity Failure

Beckman Coulter is recalling two lots of IGM reagent used in IMMAGE immunochemistry systems because they don't meet sensitivity specifications. The reagent measures immunoglobulin M levels in blood samples.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of diagnostic reagents that do not meet their specified sensitivity performance. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, inadequate test sensitivity could result in false-negative results, potentially delaying diagnosis of infections or other medical conditions.
