Recall Action Commencement Date 16/01/2015
Responsible Entity Sony Australia Limited
Reason/Issue In some situations, a LMD-1951MD medical monitor has either not turned on or has lost the image during clinical use. Sony's investigation indicates that the issue is the result of a potential disconnection of the internal power supply caused by a failure of a power board integrated circuit. This problem is caused by a non-conformity in the circuit board resulting in a short circuit with over-current and damage to the circuitry and concomitant loss of image. The failure does not occur when an AC adapter (AC-110MD) is used with the monitor.
Recall Action Recall for Product Correction
Recall Action Instructions Sony is replacing the power board of all affected units. In the interim, end users are advised to only use the AC adapter to avoid the issue occurring. This action has been closed-out on 18/07/2016.
