Consignees were requested to complete and return the enclosed Response Form within ten (10) days and to share this information with their laboratory staff and retain this notification as part of their Quality System documentation. If consignees have transferred ownership or location of the analyzer(s) to another laboratory, they were requested to provide a copy of the letter to that party.
