The hose clamps in the dxc (with serial numbers less than 3412, labeled behind the lower right side instrument door) hydropneumatic system are sharp and pose a possible risk of injury. an operator could be cut by the hose clamps, which could in turn result in increased exposure to any waste products (biohazards) that might be present on the assembly.

The recall communication was initiated with Beckman Coulter forwarding a Product Corrective Action Letter (PCA) dated November 16, 2010 to the affected customers. The recall notice explained the reason for recall and asked that customers take the following actions: (1) Customers with a service contract will have hose clamp covers installed by their Field Service Engineer during the next scheduled Preventive Maintenance (PM). A kit can be ordered through their Customer Service Representative if consignees prefer not to wait for the next Preventive Maintenance visit and (2) Customers without a service contract can obtain a kit by contacting their local Customer Service Representative. Customers were also informed that Kit (PN A68986) containing hose clamp covers and installation instructions is available at no charge from their Customer Service Representatives. One kit is required for each DxC system. The following telephone numbers were given for customers to obtain the kits: (800) 526-3821 (United States) and (800) 463-7828 (Canada). Consignees were asked to share this information with their laboratory staff and retain this notification as part of their laboratory Quality System documentation. If any of the affected product was forwarded on to another laboratory they were asked to provide a copy of this letter to them. Questions are to be directed to Beckman Coulter's Customer Support Center (Call Center) on the Beckman Coulter website at http://www.beckmancoulter.com/customersupport/support or call (800) 854-3633 in the United States and Canada.
