The letter described the issue and the product involved in the recall. The letter informed consignees that a software update is being developed to address the issue and it will also address other issue not covered in this recall. The letter also included Appendix A which listed Patient Management Recommendations (Until the software update has been approved and the device models listed in Table A receive the update, follow the programming recommendations found in Appendix A.
