It details the most relevant steps to aid in optimal function of the Clip locking mechanism, thereby reducing the probability of EFAA failure and COWL to occur. 3) Complete and return the Acknowledgement Form. 4) If you have transferred affected products to other centers, inform those centers of this notice. The recalling firm is working on producing new lots with updated manufacturing processing and raw material to mitigate the EFAA/COWL events.
