Surveryor Patient Monitors
Reason
A hazardous situation may be created during installation when mounting these monitors (Surveyor S12 and Surveyor S19) using the 75mm VESA mounting hold pattern provided in the battery cover of these monitors. If the mounting screws provided by Mortara are not used and if the mounting screws used are longer than the provided screws, it is then possible for the longer screws to be driven completely through the battery cover and then possibly penetrate the protective casing of the lithium-ion battery which may result in a fire.
