The letter provides a list of affected units shipped to the consignee and the serial number of the affected foot section on the bed. If the consignee indicated they wanted to perform the correction themselves then the indicated number of corrective bracket installation kits are being sent. Also they are given the option of having an Invacare authorized service center perform the correction. This is for units in their possession and also at patient homes. As of October 2003 enough corrective kits have been forwarded to dealers to correct all involved units.
