e500 Automatic Transport Ventilator recall
e500 Automatic Transport Ventilator, Model Number 01EVE500
Why was e500 Automatic Transport Ventilator recalled?
There is a potential for the unit to catch fire due to one of the screen retaining screws being incorrectly inserted. Due to this improper screw insertion the screw sat higher than normal allowing it to contact the underside of the main board causing the screw to rub against the bottom side of the board, wearing away the insulation layer and creating a short circuit.
