Action taken

Beginning February 24, 2021, the firm notified its affected consignees via Email. Customers were informed that if product had already been used, then no action was required, because all components were still within their expiration date at the time, and no patient safety risk was identified. If product had not been used, customers were asked to refrain from using product until a replacement Scalpel and Statlock were provided.
