This report is being submitted because importer- follow-up #1 was originally reported under mfg report # 8010762-2016-00599 on (b)(6) 2016.The trackwise system did not issue a uf/importer report # on that report because the initial medwatch report was only for the manufacturer and was not importer reportable.This report is now being issued so a importer report # will be generated.
