Recall Details
- Company:
- Becton, Dickinson and Company, BD Biosciences
- Reason for Recall:
- Flow cytometers, when used with specific tubes may experience excessive electronic abort counts (electronic abort count of beads exceeds 1.0% of the total processed events), which may affect the ratio of cell population events to bead events, potentially resulting in falsely high absolute counts. This may affect the following: initiation of prophylactic therapy for Opportunistic Infections (HIV patients), decisions regarding care/management (PID/immune suppressed patients), laboratory developed tests/experiments, specimen engraftment potency, and use of leucoreduced blood products for transfusion.
- Classification:
- Class I - Dangerous
Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.
- Status:
- terminated

In vitro diagnostics product that impacts the quality of cell staining can cause low or dim fluorescence signal, which can lead to potential false negative results and misdiagnosis of hematological malignancy, delayed treatment, and the need for additional patient samples.
BD Multitest 6-Color TBNK with optional BD Trucount Tubes (Cat. No. 662995), for use with BD FACSLyric, BD FACSCanto II, and BD FACSCanto flow cytometers to determine the percentages and absolute counts of human lymphocyte subsets in peripheral whole blood for immunophenotyping.
