Receipt" tracking and follow up with consignees will be conducted according to the Effectiveness Check noted below. . - . The 0ff Axis condition is ~onsistent with a situation in which use of, or exposure to, the product is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. A user may notice blurred vision due to the axis being out of specification but removal of the lens effectively reduces/eliminates any impairment.
