Beckman Coulter initiated a Product Corrective Action (PCA) letter with attached Recall Response Form sent via US Postal Service on February 11, 2011 to all customers who have the affected instruments. Consignees were informed of the reasons for recall, products affected and resolution for these issues would be corrected in a future release(s) for the DxH 800; but were also asked to take the following actions: If they use NW7 bar code symbiology, the labels can be read using one of the following methods: - At the single-tube presentation station (using the internal bar code scanner) - Enter the bar code information manually at the user interface of the single-tube station - Use cassette presentation. Consignees were requested to complete and return the enclosed Response Form within ten (10) days and to share this information with their laboratory staff and retain this notification as part of their Quality System documentation. If consignees have transferred ownership or location of the analyzer(s) to another laboratory, they were requested to provide a copy of the letter to that party. For questions concerning this notice, consignees were told to contact Beckman Coulter Customer Service at 800526- 7694 in the United States or Canada, or contact their local Beckman Coulter representative.
