Ultrasound systems recalled over battery guidance missing from the manuals
B-K Medical is recalling 895 bk5000 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.
