What the authority reported
BK medical, a GE Healthcare Company, has become aware of an issue where the internal power connections at the power inlet of the device can come loose for bk3500, bk3000, bk5000 & bkactiv 2300 ultrasound devices with the battery option. In the unlikely event that this goes unnoticed, there is the potential for excessive heat, which could lead to a thermal event or the device becoming inoperable. There have been no injuries reported as a result of this issue. Recall Start Date: September 11, 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.
