The letter states that the use and functionality of the device are not affected by the problem; however, if customers feel uncomfortable continuing to use the affected device, they can contact Customer Service for replacement. The firm recommended discarding the outer box of the affected product. The letter contains a form that is requested to be returned to LeMaitre Vascular as record of notification and reconciliation.
