The product label fails to warn users to use the device on patients with shielded pacemakers only.
Product recall letters dated 4/5/06 were sent to the distributors, along with recall packages dated 3/23/06, to be sent out to their customers who purchased a MC-4A instrument. The recall packages consist of a customer letter dated 3/23/06, a new warning label - part number 4ALB-001, installation instructions for the label placement, a customer response sheet, and a self-addressed stamped return envelope for the response sheet. The customer letter informs the customers that the old device label lacked adequate information regarding the use of the instrument on patients with pacemakers, and requesting that they place the enclosed label with the required warnings on the device, and complete and return the response sheet.
