Why it was recalled

Beckman Coulter is recalling the Access 2 Family of Immunoassay Systems because a circuit board that controls motor functions can affect device positioning on the pipettor and incubator belt while the instrument is running. The position errors cause the instrument to stop running and cancel tests that are in process.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.

Access 2 Immunoassay Systems, Part No. 81600N Product Usage: The Access 2 and UniCel DxI Access Immunoassay Systems are in vitro diagnostic devices used for the quantitative, semi-quantitative or qualitative determination of various analyte concentrations found in human body fluids.
