Beckman Coulter Inc. is recalling MicroScan Pos MIC Panel Type 34 products used to identify bacteria and test their resistance to antimicrobial agents. A customer report and internal investigation confirmed that a portion of the affected product lot failed quality control testing for E. Faecalis bacteria when tested against the antibiotic daptomycin. The problem is that some panels may produce falsely elevated results for daptomycin resistance in clinical samples, even when the quality control results appear normal.
The recall affects 13,700 panels (685 boxes containing 20 panels each) with Catalog Number B1017-216 and Lot Number 2021-06-10. The affected product was distributed nationwide across the United States and internationally to multiple countries including Canada, Australia, France, Germany, India, Brazil, and others. The recall source does not specify a remedy for affected consumers.
