    Beckman Coulter has identified a software issue affecting DxC 500 AU Clinical Analyzers when testing plasma samples. Following user configuration of a Clinical Chemistry test to use units different from the system default, a subsequent configuration change and activation of the draft configuration in the System Configuration page may cause the analyzer to revert the test units to the system default setting without notifying the user. The system does Pre-Review Reminders Include OII and [email protected] in any discussions on change/elevation of recalls to Class I classification and situations involving additional public communications (FDA and/or firm issued).

    a software defect in which the Parameter Package (PP) import logic overwrites all predefined calculated test rules, including those previously modified by the user, upon import of a new Parameter Package version. As a result, usercustomized calculated test rules revert silently to their default expressions, potentially generating erroneous patient test results without an explicit error notification. The issue affects instruments running software version 1.5 or lower and only occurs when a new Parameter Package is imported to a system that already has an existing Parameter Package onboard; new installations are not affected.

    Beckman Coulter is recalling their DxC 500 AU Clinical Chemistry Analyzer because a software error causes the analyzer to not run a requested calibration order in the following scenario: when a reagent blank or calibration is ordered during sample processing and then any of the components (R1 and/or R2) depletes to zero tests, the analyzer will not be able to complete the calibration request, and the calibration order will remain pending. No further calibration orders can be processed for any assays, and the instrument refuses to accept further sample processing order after the existing calibration curves are expired. Although in-process tests will be completed, this error can cause a delay in reporting subsequent test results. No further calibration orders can be processed for any assays which may cause a delay in reporting test results.

    The reason for the recall is incorrect sample barcode identification and processing errors that result in the reporting of erroneous and delayed results.

    Beckman Coulter has determined that device software versions V1.3, V1.4, V1.4.1, V1.4.2, V1.4.3. have a defect due of which, when all constituent tests of a calculated result are rerun, either manually ordered by the operator at the analyzer or automatically triggered by predefined rules in System Configuration, the calculated result will not be recalculated using the constituent tests rerun results. The system will report only the calculated result using the initial constituent tests results to the operator and LIS/Remisol. The issue was identified by Beckman Coulter internal engineering testing. The defect may cause a delay in reporting patient results.

    Beckman Coulter has identified an issue which prevents the DxC 500 AU instrument from providing the correct onboard stability (Open Expiration) dates for assays that were loaded prior to a software upgrade (e.g. 1.3 to 1.4, 1.4 to 1.4.1, etc.). As a result, assays that have expired may still be used for sample processing, leading to inaccurate or erroneous patient test results. The issue only happens on assays loaded before instruments doing upgrades and does not impact new installation. It does not impact the assays loaded after upgrade.
