The letter provides the customers with an explanation of the problem identified and an action to be taken. Customers were instructed to:

Until the new software version is available, Beckman Coulter has provided an alternate method for changing the default sample type setting. See the appendix included with this letter for additional information.
Refer to the attached Questions and Answers document for additional details and instructions, and to determine if their laboratory is running UniCel DxI Sytem Software version 4.3. Customers may wish to confirm that proper ranges and units of measure are being reported for any Access assays with sample type settings that were changed while running software version 4.3.
Customers were asked to share this information with their laboratory staff, and retain the notification as part of their laboratory Quality Ststem documentation. Complete and return the enclosed response form within 10 days so Beckman Coulter can be assured that consignees received the notification.
If they need assistance or have any questions regarding this notification, customers were told to contact Technical Support at 1-800-854-3633 in the United States or Canada. Outside the United States and Canada, contact your local Beckman Coulter Representative. |
