FDA Determined Cause 2 | Device Design |
Action | On 10/14/2019, the firm sent an "URGENT: Medical Device Recall" notification to customers via courier (e.g., UPS or FedEx) and an email to distributors informing them that they have become aware of the potential for fluid ingress rendering the internal electronics inoperable and leading to a failure of the Arm's locking mechanism. The Recalling Firm is instructing customers that they can continue to use the Arm until a replacement Arm is provided, but if either of the following scenarios apply to the devices, to please cease uses immediately and contact the Recalling Firm's Service Department. The two scenarios are:
-The customer believes the Arm has been exposed to excessive fluids at any point while in use;
-The customer notices any slipping of the Arm while properly installed for its intended use.
Customers are asked to refer to the Owner's Manual for specific instructions on how to properly clean all modules of the Head Positioning System, including the Arm. Instructions are found in Section 13 of the manual. In addition, the cleaning instructions are included within the Customer Notification Letter.
The Recalling Firm is proactively replacing Arms. Customer should follow the instruction regarding the Exchange Program:
-Recalling Firm will provide a replacement Arm at no charge. The timing of the replacement will be based upon product availability and is expected to be completed within 16 weeks.
-The Recalling Firm's Sales or Service members will assist customers with the packaging and return of the existing Arm(s) upon the receipt of the upgraded model.
Customers are also asked to respond to the Customer Notification Letter by:
1. Confirm receipt and understanding of the notice by signing and returning the response portion of the Notification letter to the Recalling Firm's Regulatory Department at: FAX Number +1-510-429-9945 or email notice@mizuhosi.com
