Reason for recall
Beckman Coulter, Inc. is recalling their Access hsTnI assay, a medical device by correction. The reason for the recall is: high troponin antigen (>55,000 pg/mL) can contaminate an analyzers probe and cause inter-assay carryover due to insufficient washing. The contamination can cause a falsely elevated Access hsTnI result in subsequent sample(s) which can impact patient care (potentially but not limited to unnecessary coronary imaging or diagnostic catheterization) if the result is near the medical decision points.
