Issue
Ambu has received information on two incidents where Ambu® aView™ 2 Advance caught fire when mounted on the vesa holder of the aCart™ compact, due to incorrect length screws used penetrating the lithium-ion battery of the device. Investigations have identified that the fire hazard was a direct consequence of a battery short-circuit, which, in turn, was triggered by the use of excessively long screws to mount the device. There is no instruction for mounting in the IFU accompanying the device.
