Recall Z-0803-2025

Reason for recall

Beckman Coulter has identified that some Access PTH reagent packs from lot 339071 may be over- or under-filled in well 0. The dispensed material in well 0 could be above or below specification, risking sealing issues, contamination, instrument errors, delays, or inaccurate results with a negative bias and increase in imprecision. The issue was confirmed on 10 April 2024 by Beckman Coulter through an internal non-conformance (NC-INT-66585). The well 0 scale on the filling line began malfunctioning on the fill immediately before PTH. The malfunction was not noticed until the majority of PTH was filled.

FDA-determined cause: Nonconforming Material/Component
