The letter outlined two safety issues and instructed customers to continue to use the device in accordance with the User Manuals, but for issue #1, do not rely on measurements displayed in the viewer. They should manually calibrate the image to create a measurement calibration reference and then perform necessary measurements. For issue #2, do not perform measurements on lossy images. In both instances, customers were requested to complete and return the acknowledgment form to [email protected]. A second letter was sent to customers on about 02/24/2023, to provide instructions for downloading the user manual addendum for CWeb.
