What the authority reported

If, during a procedure where multiple transducers are connected to the compact 5000, one of which is a transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) transducer and imaging is being performed with one of the other transducers, the TEE transducer may continue to receive power, which may cause the transducer head to exceed the established temperature limit (43°c/109.4°f). The fault condition is triggered by the vibrations caused by disconnecting and connecting/reconnecting of the transducer(s). Recall Start date: March 27, 2024

What to do

Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
