Action taken
The firm sent letters to consignees on May 20, 2020 advising them that they can continue to use the system pending this field update. Based on our data analysis, the probability of occurrence for this issue (excessive voltage fluctuation and a subsequent microscope shut off) is remote. However, please ensure that a functional check is performed prior to each surgery as described in section 16.1, directions for the operator of the instrument of the user manual.
