O-Two Medical recalls e600 Automatic Transport Ventilators (model 01EVE600) due to fire risk from improper screw installation causing short circuits. Affected units sold from EV60001 to EV60126.
There is a potential for the unit to catch fire due to one of the screen retaining screws being incorrectly inserted. Due to this improper screw insertion the screw sat higher than normal allowing it to contact the underside of the main board causing the screw to rub against the bottom side of the board, wearing away the insulation layer and creating a short circuit.
