Ten (10) of the AIRIS II System units had been previously upgraded to AIRIS Elite units [System Unit Numbers: C012, C014, C032, C063, C111, C138, C263, C347, and C495] and are these numbers are reflected in the total # of AIRIS Elite System Unit Numbers listed above*  **By the same token, *eight (8) AIRIS Elite Upgrades [System ID Numbers: H735, H736, H740, H743, H745, H746, H747 & H748] were reportedly installed well after the corrective action was underway (7/28/06 to 11/24/2006) and were not-subject to corrective action. As a result, the total # of affected system units/customers has been revised to reflect the number reported by the firm [1129] beginning with their May, 2006 status report and continuing through to their final communication to CIN-DO dated 8/21/2007. - clp
