Ambu Inc. is recalling 2,689 units of the Ambu aView 2 Advance Monitor, a portable endoscopy display system. The device can short-circuit if it is subjected to multiple impacts, such as being dropped. This short-circuit can cause the internal lithium-ion battery to combust, leading to smoke and flames. Affected monitors were manufactured prior to October 29, 2020.
Multiple impacts to the monitor can damage internal components and cause a short-circuit. Under certain conditions, this triggers the lithium-ion battery to catch fire or emit smoke, posing a serious risk of fire, burns, and smoke inhalation to patients and healthcare providers.
