ActionAccording to the firm, this issue will be resolved by sending an Urgent Medical Device Correction customer letter to customers with affected Power Cords. This letter will inform the customer of the issue and provide safety instructions for immediate mitigation of the issue. The long-term solution is to re-place all affected Power Cords at no cost to the customer. According to the firm, the plan for public notification is to contact all customers with affected Power Cords by means of an Urgent Medical Device Correction letter. In the US this will be sent by a traceable means (either US Postal Service with receipt acknowledgement (registered mail) or equivalent courier service such as FEDEX). This letter will be sent to the following titles within the affected accounts; Nurse Managers, Labor & Delivery/NICU, Bio-Medical Engineering Department Managers and Risk Management Directors We will track all service requests for the field action to completion. These service requests will record the replacement of the affected Power Cords. Exceptions to completion of the service request will be recorded as well.
