ActionThe recalling firm issued letters dated 11/9/06 via regular mail. The letter informs the customer of the problem and includes an advisory notice instructing them to perform a test prior to each use. If the system does not function correctly, it can still be used safely in a manual mode until it can be returned for repair. A questionnaire was enclosed that will facilitate the firm in prioritizing repairs and retrofits. After the questionnaire is reviewed, the firm will contact the customer for further information regarding their facilities use of the device. This letter was also issued to the CMS customer support departments in Japan, China, and Europe, who will notify the foreign customers and prioritize their returns for repair.
