Action the firm took

The firm sent notice of "Urgent Medical Device Recall" to affected consignees (all OUS), dated July 3, 2024. Customers were informed of the potential for barcode read failure error, delay of reporting patient test results, and possibility for a small amount of smoke to be emitted. Consignees were advised that no action was necessary if their laboratory has not observed any RSM Barcode Read Failure error messages. If you do observe any such error messages, or notice smoking or burning smell coming from the Dxl 9000 analyzer, please contact your Beckman Coulter service representative. Beckman Coulter will no longer ship these analyzers with the affected ground screw. Your Beckman Coulter service representative will contact you to schedule a part replacement that resolves the issue.
