Action Taken
The firm sent "Urgent Field Safety Notice: Medical Device Recall" letters to customers 7/9-11/08. In addition, the firm sent the letter via e-mail to some of the customers. The notification advised the customer of the recall, identified the product, explained the reason, and asked the customer to locate and segregate any affected product. The customer was asked to notify their customers who they had distributed the affected product to and asked them to complete and return an enclosed response form. The firm provided a model recall letter for its agents/distributors to issue to users. Upon receipt of the response form, the firm will contact customers to arrange for replacement of any affected product. Questions should be directed to the "Distributor phone number" or Richard Snyder, Quality Manager at 1-888-627-9957.
