Responsible Entity Beckman Coulter Australia Pty Ltd
Reason/Issue During internal testing, it was determined that the software for various DxH systems allows for the creation of multiple orders with the same specimen identification (ID), but a different patient identification when manually editing pending orders at the System Manager.

This issue does not occur for edits of released results or for test orders requested through host transmission.

There is a possibility of sample misidentification and the release of erroneous results.
Recall Action Recall for Product Correction
Recall Action Instructions Beckman Coulter is advising users not to edit the Specimen ID for a pending test order at the System Manager's Worklist. A software upgrade will be available to correct the issue. This action has been closed out on 13 Jun 2017.
