On 8/12/08, the firm sent an Urgent - Medical Device Correction letter, dated July 2008, to all affected customers via UPS. The letter describes the reason for the recall, informs them that Philips Ultrasound is correcting the error, states that the software is under development, will be available in September 2008 and will contact the customer to upgrade their system. "In the interim, Philips recommends that you only use the Hadlock or Osaka growth tables to perform your EFW Growth Percentile calculations.
