Reason

Beckman Coulter has confirmed that some AU clinical chemistry analyzer ISE units can experience premature ISE Ref (Reference) valve failure. Premature valve failure can be detected by the presence of air bubbles in the ISE Ref solution tubing on the ISE unit. If air bubbles are present, accuracy of the ISE test results may be affected.
