Class II — the FDA judged the product may cause temporary or medically reversible harm, with a remote chance of serious harm.
This is the FDA's risk judgment for this recall. It describes the potential of the product as a category — it does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone. Most recalls are Class II or III.
Ambu aView 2 A Monitor, Catalog numbers 405011000 and 405011000US2
Why it was recalled
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.
Is your unit affected?
The recall covers only the specific lots or serial numbers the FDA listed. Enter the lot or serial number from your product's label and we'll check it against that list.
A match means your unit may be covered — stop and call your pharmacist before doing anything. No match suggests it isn't covered, but confirm anyway: code formats vary and lists can be incomplete. Your unit not being listed does not guarantee it is safe, and being listed does not mean you have been harmed.

What this is — and is not
A recall is a recorded FDA enforcement action — the FDA logged that a firm is removing or correcting a product. It does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone, and causation is not established by a recall. The class above is the FDA's risk judgment for the product category, not a finding about your unit. This page informs and compares; it is not medical advice and never tells you to start or stop a drug or device.
