Abbott sent 'Important Product Information' letters dated 12/2/03 to the end user accounts, advising them of the error in conversion of the Celsius temperature range to Farenheit in the first step in preparing the Terg-A-Zyme cleaning solution. The letter listed the entire corrected solution preparation procedure and advised the accounts to retain the letter with the Abbott FPC Operations Manual for future reference.
