Product Description
Beckman Coulter DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer is a discrete photometric chemistry analyzer for clinical use. It is an in-vitro diagnostic device used for the quantitative, semi-quantitative, or qualitative determination of various analyte concentrations found in human body fluids with Catalog Number C11137.
Reason for Recall
The reason for the recall is the pneumatic tubing used in the analytical pick-and-place (PnP) assembly cable may fully or partially disconnect from the flex cable assembly fittings during normal operation. The DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer may generate a System Event log message that indicates PnP errors. Any cancelled tests will have an associated SYS flag. The analyzer may enter the Red-system status because of this issue. The analyzer also may not eject RVs, where unbound conjugate could potentially splash up on the sidewall of the RV, not being properly washed away, resulting in an artificially higher signal (RLU). The analyzer may not detect this splashing and continue with normal operation, which can cause false low or high erroneous results. Consequently, the analyzer may cancel in-progress tests. These errors could potentially cause delay reporting patient test results and patient treatments. The degree of the potential health hazard is dependent on the analytes that are potentially delayed, especially those analytes that would be used in the acute setting when treatment decisions are immediate. In this particular recall the highest risk analyte is troponin. Health consequences could include permanent impairment or possibly death if medical treatment decisions are delayed due to a delay in obtaining patient results. The issue was identified by Beckman Coulter Inc. manufacturing staff at their location in Brea California on February 29, 2024, during in-process acceptance inspection activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Contact your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer immediately. Check whether your specific model number and lot number are included in the recall scope. For external devices, stop using the affected product and arrange a replacement. For implanted devices, do not panic — removal is typically not required unless the risk assessment clearly indicates it. Your physician will guide you based on your individual clinical situation and the FDA's recommended actions. Report any adverse effects you may have experienced to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency — Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.
Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch. Healthcare facilities are required by law to report device-related serious injuries and deaths. Patients and consumers can also report voluntarily. Include the device name, manufacturer, model number, and a description of the problem and any patient outcome. Reports from patients and clinicians help the FDA identify emerging safety signals and may trigger investigations that lead to recalls of dangerous devices.
What Should You Do?
Stop using this device if you are affected by this recall. Contact your healthcare provider and the manufacturer immediately for guidance. Report adverse events to FDA MedWatch.
