- On 9/10/2020 the firm sent an Urgent Field Safety Notification to its consignees US FDA expressed concern with the appropriateness of the language used in the Tracker reprocessing instruction. Reason is that some Low Temperature sterilization conditions mentioned in the IFUs are approved based on rational documents, leveraged from proper validation files. Based on this concern, Blue Ortho decided to revise the appropriateness of the language used in the Tracker reprocessing instruction LEFUS Tracker for Low Temperature Sterilization v1.0 to remove such conditions. Blue Ortho has already updated the GPS Trackers IFUs, to remove the sterilizations cycle based on rational and not effectively supported by validation.
