A phone script was provided. Customers with systems not ugraded were to upgrade before further use of system.  A notification letter dated 8/17/2007 was later sent to VIAS customers advising that the software upgrade from February 1 , 2007 may not have been\ncompleted on their system. This software upgrade adds the algorithm (Slidetype) for the\nPATWAY anti-HER-2/neu (4B5) antibody to their VIAS system . This Slidetype is cleared for marketing\nand is required prior to imaging slides stained with PATHWAY anti-HER-2/neu (4B5).\nThe letter also advises that their VIAS and NEXES systems are conneded to the internet which enables this upgrade to be\nperformed remotely with the support of the Ventana Medical Systems Customer Support Center\n(CSC). customers are instructed to call the CSC to carry out the upgrade or to schedule a\nTechnical Applications Specialist (TAS) to assist with the upgrade in their lab. Arrangements for the upgrade are to be made prior to imaging slides stained with PATHWAY\nanti-HER-2/neu (4B5).",
