Quick summary
The UniCel DxH 800 is a Beckman Coulter laboratory analyzer that counts blood cells. Reports mostly describe the instrument giving results that don't match manual checks or other analyzers — typically overstated hemoglobin, platelet, or red cell values — and a couple mention output errors or fire. There are 33 reports, 4 injuries, and no deaths. One open recall (August 2025) covers a component change that can falsely raise hemoglobin results in samples with high white blood cell counts.

THE CUSTOMER REPORTED THAT THEIR UNICEL DXH 800 COULTER CELLULAR ANALYSIS SYSTEM DID NOT GENERATE DIFFERENTIAL ABNORMAL CELL FLAGS FOR A (B)(6) FEMALE PATIENT WITH MULTIPLE MYELOMA (MM). THE CUSTOMER INDICATED THAT ONE OF THEIR PATIENTS, WHOM LATER ON WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE MYELOMA, DID NOT RECEIVE TIMELY AND ADEQUATE TREATMENT, DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF FLAGGING, FOR CELL POPULATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH MULTIPLE MYELOMA. THE FIRST CONTACT WITH THE CLINIC OCCURRED ON (B)(6) 2018, WITH A SECOND VISIT ON (B)(6) 2018. BY THE TIME OF THE SECOND VISIT, THE LAB WAS AWARE OF A POTENTIAL CONDITION WITH THE PATIENT, WHEN A BONE MARROW ANALYSIS WAS ORDERED UNDER THE SUSPICION OF MULTIPLE MYELOMA. THE SAME DAY THE PATIENT HAD ANOTHER CBC+DIFF (DIFFERENTIAL) REQUEST, BUT WAS STOPPED BY THE RULES ON THE LABORATORY INFORMATION SYSTEM (LIS) FOR DELTA CHECK ON HEMOGLOBIN (HGB). FOLLOWING THIS EVENT, THEY PERFORMED A SLIDE REVIEW FOR SUSPECTED MACROCYTIC ANEMIA, AND OBSERVED 10% ATYPICAL PLASMA CELLS. MOREOVER, AN ELECTROPHORESIS DONE THE SAME DAY, GENERATED A CONCENTRATION OF 50 G / L IN THE GAMMA AREA.
