FDA Recall Notice
Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — official FDA notice for recall FDA-Z-1643-2018.
Beckman Coulter has determined that there is a potential for incorrect settings to be installed on North American iChemVELOCITY Urine Chemistry Analyzers. 1. The installation of International settings can result in the generation of erroneous, false low results for some of the analytes at some concentrations. 2. The installation of colors different from those stated in the Instructions for Use (Colorless, Straw, Yellow, Amber, Red, Blue) for output settings will result in incorrect reporting of colors. For example, if Green is the color choice for the output setting instead of Blue, Green will be reported.
