Getinge recalls 56M model Washer Disinfector Aquadis 56 units with faulty frequency inverters that cause premature axial seal wear. Affected units have specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
The frequency inverter is not programmed by supplier according to specification which causes the circulation pump to start earlier than expected, resulting in additional wear and tear, earlier than expected, on the axial seal in the pump housing.
Getinge is recalling certain Aquadis 56 washer disinfectors due to a faulty frequency inverter that causes the pump to start earlier than expected, leading to premature wear on the axial seal. This could result in reduced equipment lifespan and potential failure.
The frequency inverter in the device is not programmed correctly, causing the circulation pump to start earlier than intended. This leads to increased mechanical stress on the axial seal in the pump housing, resulting in premature wear and potential failure.
Healthcare facilities using the Aquadis 56 washer disinfectors with the specific model number 56M and listed serial numbers are most affected. The risk is primarily for equipment longevity rather than immediate safety.
Check if your washer disinfectors have the model number 56M and the specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice (e.g., WAA105199, WAA105251, etc.).
Verify your unit's serial number against the list of affected serial numbers provided in the recall notice.
