Why these products were recalled

Battery system data issue with the ultrasound system can intermittently cause a system shutdown, regardless of actual battery state or application of alternating current power.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
