  • Action
    Aksys sent a Clinical Bulletin: Field Correction Recall, CB Number: 048, dated 6/26/2006, via overnight Federal Express to all clinics or patients currently using the PHD instrument. CB #048 advises patients that until field modifications to the PHD System can be performed to limit the maximum treatment time to 170 minutes, Aksys recommends that users not exceed this treatment time in the interim. Each user was requested to contact his/her clinic to discuss how this change may affect treatment options and to complete and mail an enclosed pre-paid, self-addressed receipt acknowledgement card. A revised PHD System Operatror''s Manual was issued to all PHD System users on 7/12/06, which reflects the reduction in the maximum treatment time.
