Reason

Action

A recall notification, Urgent Medical Device Recall Expansion Letter, dated 7.18.2007, was sent to customers advising the letter is to inform them of a voluntary product recall expansion involving the OASIS Medical Premier Edge Knives.

Once the product has been identified, product is to be returned by FedEx to OASIS Medical.
