FDA recall Z-1362-2018

Product

BECKMAN COULTER iQ200 Series Urine Microscopy Analyzer, Catalog Numbers: 700-3345, C10684, 700-3375, C10683, 700-3325, 700-3347, 700-3320, 700-3322, 700-3370

Reason for recall

Beckman Coulter has determined that there is a potential for under-reporting casts. This can occur if per high-power field (/HPF) units of measurement for casts are selected in the iQ200 software, but the abnormal threshold and/or grading format is set up based on reporting per low-power field (/LPF)* or *per microliter. This may occur during initial method validation or if settings are altered after the initial validation.
