Reason

Action

Miramar Labs sent Medical Device Correction letters to all users on October 9, 2015 to inform them of the labeling clarification by UAPS First Class Certified mail or courier such as Federal Express. The letter identified the product, the problem, and the action to be taken by the customer. Customers were instructed that the firm added a new warning to their labeling. The firm included an updated copy of the MD4000-MC User Manual with the new warning included and asked that customers destroy their older copy. Customers with questions were instructed to call Customer SService at 1-855-647-2379 or email [email protected]
