SCUBAPRO UWATEC
Recall Announcement

SCUBAPRO UWATEC is voluntarily recalling about 663 dive computers manufactured in 1995 and sold under the model name Aladin Air X NitrOx . This recall only concerns this model of dive computer produced in 1995 only.
The date of manufacture is stamped on the back of the dive computer, in the lower right hand corner. The date code reads the number of the month followed by a decimal point and the year, for example, "10.95." The dive computers are blue and black wording "Aladin" and "NitrOx" printed across the front screen.

WHY
Software in the 1995 dive computers may inaccurately calculate desaturation times, resulting in possible decompression sickness under aggressive dive conditions.
UWATEC AG (the manufacturer) has received five reports of decompression sickness that could be associated with the use of the 1995 dive computers and this is the reason why SCUBAPRO UWATEC Recalls these models.

HOW
SCUBAPRO UWATEC will replace your 1995 Aladin Air X Nitrox dive computer for free with the current model, the Aladin Air Z Nitrox dive computer.


WHERE
In order to obtain a free replacement, CONTACT YOUR NEAREST AUTHORISED DEALER or contact SCUBAPRO
UWATEC
 
Dive Inn seems to have sent out mass emails to all their customers regarding this recall. Kudos to them for their service.
