Class II — the FDA judged the product may cause temporary or medically reversible harm, with a remote chance of serious harm.
This is the FDA's risk judgment for this recall. It describes the potential of the product as a category — it does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone. Most recalls are Class II or III.
AU/DxC AU Chemistry Transferrin REF: OSR6152 Immune complexes formed in solution scatter light in proportion to their size, shape and concentration. Turbidimeters measure the reduction of incident light due to reflection, absorption, or scatter. In the procedure, the measurement of the decrease in light transmitted (increase in absorbance) through particles suspended in solution as a result of complexes formed during the antigen-antibody reaction, is the basis of this assay.
Why it was recalled
The firm has identified that the Transferrin reagent does not meet the Instructions for Use (IFU) reagent on-board stability claims, which may cause control failures and/or erroneous patient samples results. The Complaint handling unit has received a total of 2 safety cases (CASE-2023-02027212 and CASE-2023-02045278) and 99 quality cases with the failure mode attributed to Transferrin reagent (OSR6152 / lot 2573) associated with reagent blank shifts for the Reagent 2 (R2), imprecision, calibration failures, erratic Quality Control (QC) recoveries, and/or erroneous high/low (serum, plasma, urine) patient results. The issue was confirmed through internal testing by Beckman Coulter on June 30, 2023. Reagent Blank shifts for R2, imprecision, calibration failures, erratic Quality Control (QC) recoveries, and/or erroneous high/low (serum, plasma, urine) patient results. The issue was confirmed through internal testing by Beckman Coulter on June 30, 2023.
Is your unit affected?
The recall covers only the specific lots or serial numbers the FDA listed. Enter the lot or serial number from your product's label and we'll check it against that list.
A match means your unit may be covered — stop and call your pharmacist before doing anything. No match suggests it isn't covered, but confirm anyway: code formats vary and lists can be incomplete. Your unit not being listed does not guarantee it is safe, and being listed does not mean you have been harmed.

What this is — and is not
A recall is a recorded FDA enforcement action — the FDA logged that a firm is removing or correcting a product. It does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone, and causation is not established by a recall. The class above is the FDA's risk judgment for the product category, not a finding about your unit. This page informs and compares; it is not medical advice and never tells you to start or stop a drug or device.
