| Reason/Issue |
As a result of internal investigations, Beckman Coulter has learned that an erroneous configuration setting during servicing may be possible on the AQUIOS CL instruments. If the incorrect configuration occurs, the probe may aspirate samples only from a single tube and will not aspirate samples from the remaining tubes in the cassette.
The probe would repeatedly aspirate from a single tube position in the cassette, resulting in erroneous patient results for the remaining tubes in the cassette. This causes a mismatch between the test result given and the sample ID. |
