Plain-English summary
Beckman Coulter Inc. is recalling 123 units of the DxA 5000 automation system, a laboratory device used for in vitro diagnostic testing. The recall affects specific serial numbers distributed across eleven states: Alabama, California, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and West Virginia.
The device has a defect in its automated sampling system. Sample carriers may transport samples to an outer lane that lacks a physical barrier to contain them. When samples reach the end of this outer lane, they can drop.
This defect can delay diagnosis and patient treatment, as new samples must be drawn. Additionally, the dropped samples pose a risk of biohazard material discharge, potentially exposing personnel to transmissible blood-borne pathogens including HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Affected facilities should verify their system serial numbers against the FDA recall list and contact Beckman Coulter for corrective action.
