The firm is having their representatives: 1) assure that the use of the CompactFlashcards manufactured by Simple Tech has been discontinued at each customer location; 2) Replaace the CompactFlash card in all basic Units, 391-876, of R0036 through R0043; and 3) replace any spare part #914-698, which has been installed in Basic Units, 391--876, below R0036. Once completed, the firm has supplied their customers with a TELEFAX form to be completed, signed and dated by each customerand faxed back to Radiometer Medical ApS. The form documents that the instructions provided in theField Action Notes have been followed and that the necessary component replacements have been completed. The firm anticipates that the necesary corrective action will be completed by 7/1/2006.
