| Issue: | The manufacturer has collaborated with regulators to develop a revised cleaning protocol for the BIO CAL devices, but after significant efforts have been unable to develop a cleaning protocol to satisfy current industry concerns and expectations. As a result, an updated cleaning protocol will not be developed and it has been determined that the best course of action is to request BIO CAL users to discontinue use and dispose of BIO CAL devices. |
