Recall Z-0353-2019
Beckman Coulter Inc. · initiated May 24, 2018
Class III – products unlikely to cause any adverse health reaction but that violate FDA labeling or manufacturing laws
Product
Intelligent Peri-Analytical Workstation (HW+SW), Catalog #: A89492 (iPAW Software v4.2.1), Beckman Coulter, Inc. The iPAW ((intelligent Peri-Analytical Workstation) can act as: a software client for specimen tracking and workload statistics or a physical workstation for manual sorting and label printing.
Codes / lots: v4.2.1 (and 4.2, discontinued)
Reason for recall
Sorting-Drive software version 4.2 (released in October 2015) introduced a new option for iPAW and the Sorting-Drive Client that is used for manual printing of barcodes. Sorting Drive software version 4.2 was replaced by 4.2.1 (both versions contain the same option for manual barcode printing). When printing consecutively numbered tube labels using this optional Barcode Counter function, the system incorrectly converts numbers with consecutive multiple zeroes in the middle, potentially leading to wrong barcode IDs. The firm reports this does not affect automated label creation or reprinting of individual labels and that no other system functions are affected.
FDA-determined cause: Software change control
Action taken
On 6/4/2018 Beckman Coulter (BEC) reported that the issue will be corrected via a field modification performed by Field Service. BEC reported that they do not intend to send a customer letter for this issue.US customers can contact the Technical Support Troubleshooting Hotline at (800) 854-3633.
