Action Taken
On 12/08/2021, the firm sent recall notifications to customers via mail and e-mail. Customers with additional questions were encouraged to contact Customer Support: http://www.beckmancoulter.com or 1-800-223-0130 Action to be taken: "Retain a copy of this letter as it serves as current labeling. Where LIH influence check settings are enabled, customers must update the lipemia influence check settings on their AU/DxC AU analyzers. To determine if LIH influence check settings are enabled on your analyzer for Magnesium and to update your lipemia interference settings, perform the following action: DxC 700 AU: Select Menu List > Configuration Parameters > Specific Test Parameters > Test Volume and Methods > General > Edit. Update the LIH influence check for Magnesium Lipemia interference from +++++ to ++. AU480 / AU680 / AU5800: Select Menu > Parameters > Specific Test Parameters > General > Edit. Update the LIH influence check for Magnesium Lipemia interference from +++++ to ++. If LIH influence check settings are not enabled, review the new interference information in the IFU and assess whether changes are required to the reporting of magnesium results in the laboratory information system based on LIH flagging." Magnesium IFU (BAOSR6189) will be updated: The criteria for no significant interference is recovery within 10% or 0.29mg/dL (0.12mmol/L) of the initial value. Lipemia: No significant interference up to 200 mg/dL Intralipid The Magnesium setting sheet (BASOSR6189) will be updated so that the lipemia influence check setting is reduced from +++++ to ++.
