Flex Focus ultrasound carts recalled over incomplete battery safety instructions
B-K Medical is recalling 4,426 1202 Flex Focus ultrasound systems because the user guide and service manual do not adequately state battery replacement intervals, end-of-life handling or safety precautions.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: Scored 2 as a labeling deficiency: the record cites missing instructions rather than a device defect, and states no consequence or reported harm.
