Getinge Disinfection Ab is recalling 526 Aquadis 56 Washer Disinfectors, including models 56A and 56M, because the internal circulation pump may wear out much faster than expected. A programming error causes the pump to start earlier than it should, which leads to premature damage to the pump's seal. While no injuries have been reported, this defect can affect the machine's performance and long-term durability. Owners should stop using the devices and contact the manufacturer or an authorized distributor to arrange for a software correction or repair.
The internal circulation pump starts prematurely due to a software error, causing the pump's axial seal to wear down early. This could lead to equipment failure or leaks during the disinfection process, potentially compromising the sterilization workflow.
