The letters indicated in a table which software anomalies were associated with the affected software modules in each software version. A description of each anomaly was provided, along with interim actions to take to mitigate the anomaly until the new software version RenalSoft V.2.0.x can be issued.

At that time the mitigation provided in the letter will be reviewed with the customer.
