Getinge recalls Aquadis 56 washer disinfectors with model 56A due to pump seal wear from improper frequency inverter programming. Affected units have specific serial numbers. Contact Getinge for details.
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.
