Beckman Coulter has identified that the UniCel DxI 600/800 systems with linear slide PnP gantries running software versions 5.7 and up faced incorrect PnP X-motor current settings where the PnP X-motor current incorrectly resets to 1.5A (instead of the required 2.0A) because the software overwrites the factory setting during installs or upgrades. This anomaly causes increased PnP motion errors which could lead to delays in reporting patient sample results if unnoticed.

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. has confirmed that a negative sodium bias may exist in some epoc test card lots. All other analytes are performing as intended. The observed average bias for sodium was -4.4 mmol/L. The maximum bias observed was -14 mmol/L, which occurred at a higher sodium concentration around 150 mmol/L. No positive bias has been observed. Quality Control (QC) fluid may or may not detect the issue depending on the bias magnitude and the frequency of QC testing.

Control kits contain incorrect standard deviation (SD) values for the low and high control beads which compromises the accurate calculation of bead counts.
