Action Merge sent an Urgent: Medical Device Recall letter dated March 28, 2016, via e-mail on April 4, 2016. A letter was issued to nonresponders on July 11, 2016. The letter notifies the customer of the issue, informs them of the workaround, and that no further action was being taken to correct the issue, therefore, the customer needs to be aware of the possible behavior. The notification instructs the customer to pass the information onto all other users, as well as any downstream customers if it was further distributed. The notification also informs the customer their response is required using the enclosed form and the return addressed envelope. The response form asks, in part, if they understand the workaround. The response was required no later than April 18, 2016. Nonresponders were issued a second letter dated July 11, 2016, asking for a response by August 2, 2016. The letter and response form contained the same information as the first letter. If the second letter results in additional unresponsive customers, a call campaign will be managed by Customer Support and documented via SalesForce. Three call attempts will made before closing the case. For further information please call (877) 741-5369.
