  • Action
    Starting July 3, 2008 the firm issued a "MEDICAL DEVICE CORRECTION" letter notifying their customers of the potential hazards with the use of probe adapter, PN 700-031-00. All letters have a return receipt to verify each customer received the medical device correction letter. The firm will replace all PN 700-0031-00 adaptors with a replacement adaptor from their initial distributor. The firm initiated sending new adaptors separately, by mail, with a copy of the same Medical Device Correction letter to the firm's customers. The firm has requested their customers to throw away any adapter that is being recalled.
