2,730 medical device reports received by FDA name the brand "Coulter Lh 750 Hematology Analyzer" (counter differential cell); the manufacturer given most often on reports is Beckman Coulter; received from August 2010 to October 2018. Brand names are as the reporter or manufacturer wrote them, so one product can appear under several spellings.
0 reports arrived in the 12 months to August 2026, and none in the 12 months before. FDA releases MAUDE data monthly; reports can arrive months after an event, so the newest months grow in later releases. The event types recorded are malfunction (99.3%) and injury (0.7%); across all counter, differential cell reports (product code GKZ) death is recorded in 0.1% and malfunction in 95.7%. Event type is the reporter's classification of the report, not a verified outcome.
The device problems coded most often are fluid/blood leak (46.4%), leak/splash (22.8%) and incorrect or inadequate test results (9.9%). The patient problems coded most often are not applicable, test result and chemical exposure. FDA states that "MDR data alone cannot be used to establish rates of events, evaluate a change in event rates over time or compare event rates between devices. The number of reports cannot be interpreted or used in isolation to reach conclusions about the existence, severity, or frequency of problems associated with devices." It adds that the reporting system "has limitations, including the potential submission of incomplete, inaccurate, untimely, unverified, or biased data."
