Product

BD FACSLyric Flow Cytometer,3-Laser 10 Color Instrument, REF: 659180 and 65918001, when using BD Trucount Tubes

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.
