Why the product was recalled
Beckman Coulter is recalling the AQUIOS Lyse Reagent Kit because it may lead to an increased generation of notifications and flags when used on the AQUIOS CL when running the AQUIOS Tetra application. The issue could lead to an increase in the number of samples requiring review and re-runs with a potential delay to the reporting of results. Depending on the specimen age, a new blood specimen may be required.
