What the authority reported
Beckman Coulter has determined that a software defect in AU480 chemistry analyzers using Microsoft® SQL server 2022 express may cause a DB connection error that renders alarmDB unreadable and prevents instrument startup. The issue is associated with transaction log auto-growth, and may cause delays in reporting patient test results to physicians.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
