Ambu recalls aView 2 monitors with catalog numbers 405011000 and 405011000US2 due to fire risk from using screws longer than 14-16mm. This can cause battery penetration, fire, burns, and smoke inhalation.
Instructions for Use have been updated to add the following warning: Use only M4 screws with the length of 14 16 mm when mounting Ambu aView 2 Advance on a VESA interface. Using longer screw lengths will penetrate the lithium-ion battery and result in a fire hazard and battery leakage which can cause severe burns, smoke inhalation and skin irritation. Using shorter screw lengths could result in unsecure device fastening.
