Reported risk: Welch Allyn has been made aware that the KleenSpec 788 Corded Illuminator has the potential to be incorrectly connected to a commonly available AC power cord instead of the illuminator low voltage transformer power cord which is supplied with the illuminator. This may result in a shattered lamp bulb and a potential electric shock hazard. Commonly available AC line power cords do not have an integrated wall transformer and therefore, the electrical current from the outlet is fully transferred into the device. There have been no associated injuries, but the misconnection can be reproduced. For example, the illuminator cord connector may fit into AC power cords from common consumer equipment, such as laptop computers and other medical devices that have similar power cord connector.
