Fresenius recalls AquaBplus and AquaBplus B2 water purification systems for hemodialysis use due to electrical safety risks from loose crimp connections that could cause shock to staff.
Incorrectly crimped connectors were installed on the main protective earth conductor on these machines. If the machine is moved or maintenance is performed, these crimp connections could become loose and may adversely affect the electrical safety of the products, potentially resulting in electrical shock to the Biomed Technician or clinic staff.
Fresenius is recalling AquaBplus and AquaBplus B2 water purification systems used in hemodialysis. The recall is because improperly crimped electrical connectors could become loose during movement or maintenance, potentially causing electrical shock to medical staff.
Incorrectly crimped connectors on the main protective earth conductor can become loose if the machine is moved or maintenance is performed. This may cause electrical shock to medical staff during normal use or maintenance activities.
