  • Action
    Beckman Coulter sent an " Urgent Medical Device Recall" letter dated June 8, 2016, to all affected customers. Beckman Coulter has determined through customer feedback and internal testing that the Access Free T3 Reagent lots listed above demonstrate an upward shift in patient results. The preliminary results indicate this upward shift may be related to a June 2015 formulation design change that was introduced to improve the Access Free T3 open reagent pack stability. The upward shift in patient test results, therefore, is expected to be maintained for all future lots. The letter informs the customers of the impact and the actions to be taken. Customers are instructed to complete and return the enclosed response form within 10 days. Customers with any questions are instructed to contact Customer Technical Support Center at http:www.beckmancoulter.com, call (800) 854-3633 in US and Canada. Customers outside US and Canada, are instructed to contact local Beckman Coulter representative.
