What You Should Do

Remedy

On May 2, 2019, the firm sent Guidance for SenTec Distributors to their distributors advising them of the issue, requesting them to check their stock and notify their end users via a voluntarily initiated field correction action associated with Membrane Changers and their Inserts which was enclosed with the "recall" letters. The distributors were to report back to SenTec via email.
