Action
Customers were notified of the recall vie e-mail and certified mail on July 7, 2016, with an Urgent Medical Device Recall letter. Customers were asked to take the following actions: 1. Please examine your current inventory and determine whether you have any of the recalled lots listed. (a.) If you DO have cartridges from the recalled lots, please note the quantity of cartridges you have of each lot number on the attached form entitled T2Candida Cartridge Recall Customer Response Form (CRF). Please also immediately quarantine any cartridges from the indicated lots and do not use them. (b.) If you DO NOT have any cartridges from the recalled lots, please also note this in the space provided on the form 2. Send the completed CRF to T2Biosystems via e-mail to orders@t2biosystems.com or via fax to 781-240-0541. Your primary contact at T2 for all recall-related correspondence or questions is Georgette Yannios (gyannios@t2biosystems.com or 877-504-8282 Option 3). All product will be replaced at no charge to you as soon as possible. 3. Once T2 receives the CRF, we will issue a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number to you along with a FedEx shipping label. After you receive this RMA number and label, please follow the instructions provided with the RMA for shipment of cartridges back to T2 (please do not ship reagent trays as they are not subject to this action).
