Action |
Urgent Recall Notice letters with business reply cards were sent Fed ex on December 17, 2010 to all accounts. International notifications were sent on December 21, 2010. The letter identified the affected product and lot numbers along with a background explanation of the issue. The firm recommends that customers remove the cap from the vial; squeeze the vial 10 times, prior to thawing; replace cap on the vial; and then follow the remaining steps for use as outlines in section 14-12 of the i-STAT 1 System Manual. Customers are to complete and return the Business Reply card to acknowledge receipt of the letter. If the affected product had been further distributed then a copy of the letter should be provided to those customers as well. If additional information is needed, customers should contact Abbott Point of Care Technical Support at 800-366-8020, Option 1 or their Abbott Point of Care representative. |
