Action

The firm sent Urgent Product Correction letters, dated Sept. 11, 2009, to their customers. The letter identified the problem and stated that Drager had supplied STERIS the replacement spring arms and that a STERIS Service Technician would perform the replacement. The letter also stated that the correction would be performed at no charge to the customers. According to the letter, customers would be contacted by their STERIS Service Representative to arrange a convenient time for replacement of potentially affected spring arms. In the meantime, the letter states that customers should use their surgical lights in accordance with the guidelines presented in the Operator's Manual.
