Beckman Coulter has determined that a software defect in AU480 chemistry analyzers using Microsoft® SQL server 2022 express may cause a DB connection error that renders alarmDB unreadable and prevents instrument startup. The issue is associated with transaction log auto-growth, and may cause delays in reporting patient test results to physicians.
