Beckman Coulter has recalled its Synchron LX Clinical Systems Ion Selective Electrolyte Flow Cell, according to a release by the FDA.
There may be wear of the ratio pump, build-up on the chloride electrode silver iodide and microbial contamination, apparently based on a maintenance-related issue, the FDA said. The company sent customers a Product Corrective Action letter about the issue on April 5.
The action is an FDA Class 1 recall, the most serious type, involving a reasonable probability that use of the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
