Recall Action Commencement Date	6/02/2013
Responsible Entity	Beckman Coulter Australia Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue	Improper tubing installing by the customer during routine maintenance may prevent the DxI and DxC systems from washing reaction vessels properly and may lead to erroneous test results. The reason for the customer mis-routing of instrument tubing was determined to be two fold: - The mechanical controls on the instrument were insufficient to prevent incorrect routing of the aspirate and dispense tubing. - The instructional drawings in the service documentation were difficult for the customer to understand. This recall action was not notified to the TGA before it was initiated by Beckman Coulter Australia
Recall Action	Recall for Product Correction
Recall Action Instructions	Beckman Coulter Australia is advising that all affected systems were corrected with a new design that provided mechanical controls to reduce the potential for tubing installation errors. Also, updated service documentation with clearer instructions were distributed to affected customers.
