An additional URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL correction notification and cover letter was sent to all consignees on XX/XX/XX to explain the reason for the expansion of the recall and will provide an update to the timing of implementation of the field correction. Expansion now includes devices manufactured between 2006 and March 2012. The correction strategy is to issue the customers a letter and addendum to the Operator's Manual that specifies what the user should do in the event of a tube clamp failure for any reason. The letter states that the firm is still investigating the issue and the correction. The letter states that in the coming months when a resolution is identified, consignees may be contacted to make arrangements for a upgrade to the system.
