FDA issues letter about possible misbranding of reusable devices labeled for reprocessing by the STERIS System 1

Dear Colleagues,

The letter provided as a link to FDA's webpage has been sent to advise endoscope manufacturers to remove references to the SS1 from their product labeling and to assure that their labeling specifies only legally-marketed reprocessing devices. No action is required by healthcare facilities in response to the letter. Please disregard the previous posting and e-mail dissemination of this letter; it was premature. 

The letter is available on FDA's website at: http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/AlertsandNotices/ucm201497.htm
