| Reason/Issue |
Beckman Coulter has determined that additional clarification for the Blast Suspect messages is necessary. In certain situations, the UniCel DxH 800 and DxH 600 Coulter Cellular Analysis System may not flag or detect blasts in some blood samples. This is due to limitations in the available technology as well as sample limitations. In these situations there could be a delay in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions associated with blasts in the peripheral blood. |
