They were instructed that a replacement AirSeal disposable should be available prior to procedures in order to minimize potential delays.

Detailed instructions were provided on how to connect the AirSeal tube set and Airseal Access Ports. Consignees were also instructed to review inventory for affected units, place a copy of the provided Instructions for Use, Part No. AS-DIS-IFU, Rev.
