The Sale representative was provided with a recall letter for the cutomer to facilitate notification. Edwards requested that either the customer or the Sale Representative provide written verification of stock and identify any unused product to be returned . This will allow Edwards to track the effectiveness of this recall. Their Eurpoe operations initiated a similar recall plan in Europe on November 2, 2006.
