However, as noted in the Instructions for Use (IFU), prepare a spare UHI-4 unit as a backup to ensure uninterrupted operation can be completed without complication in the case of a malfunction. Actions to take included to carefully read the notification letter and ensure all personnel are completely knowledgeable on the content of the notification, an Olympus field service representative will contact you to schedule a mutually convenient time to perform the offset adjustment, acknowledge receipt of the notification through the Olympus recall web portal, and forward the notification to other users who may have the affected products if you have further distributed it.
