Manufacturer shall also provide, upon request by Hyperfine, information concerning its production processes and quality control procedures (including procedures to comply with Quality Assurance Requirements) with respect to Products. |
4.3. | Regulatory Inspections. Manufacturer agrees to inform Hyperfine within [***] ([***]) hours of notification of any regulatory inquiry, communication or inspection, which directly or indirectly relates to the manufacture of Products. In the event Manufacturer receives a notice of inspection or an inspection visit by any Governmental Authority, which involves a Product or could impact Manufacturer’s ability to produce a Product, Manufacturer shall notify Hyperfine within [***] ([***]) hours of notification by such Governmental Authority. Hyperfine, at its option, shall have the right to have its representatives present at any such inspection by a Government Authority.

4.5. | Incidents or Accidents. Manufacturer shall immediately notify Hyperfine in writing of any incident or accident experienced by Manufacturer that Manufacturer in its reasonable judgment believes may affect the quality of Products that Manufacturer is obligated to deliver hereunder or its ability to meet delivery date obligations hereunder. Manufacturer shall immediately investigate such incident or accident, and Manufacturer shall provide a written report of the results of the investigation of such incidence or accident to Hyperfine within [***] ([***]) business days of completion of the investigation. For avoidance of doubt, such notification shall not relieve Manufacturer of any of its obligations or liability hereunder, or waive any of Hyperfine’s rights with respect thereto. |
4.6. | Field Corrective Actions. In the event of a field corrective action, Hyperfine shall have full control and authority over the coordination of the action, and Manufacturer shall use diligent efforts and cooperate in good faith. If the action arises out of a manufacturing nonconformance, Manufacturer’s responsibility is as stated in Section 11, Warranty. If the action arises out of a design or regulatory nonconformance directly attributable to Hyperfine, Hyperfine shall be responsible for all costs related to the action. If Manufacturer becomes aware of a nonconformance during the manufacturing process that might affect product already shipped, Manufacturer shall immediately inform Hyperfine and shall cooperate in determining the extent of the nonconformance. |
