The letter identified the product, the problem, and the action the consignee should take. Consignees were instructed to not use the motors for thread cutting and removal of screws. If any unusual reactions of any cutting tools were observed consignees should check to ensure that the motor is not running in the opposite direction. If any error message is displayed, consigness were instructed to not use the motor. Consignees were also instructed to check both directions of running before use and do not use a motor which produces an error message in one direction. Aesculap would be providing all customers with a software update to the MicroSpeed Uni control box either by the unit being returned to Aesculap for update or by firm representative doing the upgrade on site at their facility.
