  • Causa
    The manufacturer has identified two issues relating to the power supply;- that the two halves of the power supply may come apart. if the two halves are not properly closed, there is a low risk of injury by electricity. as the conductive parts are secured by a fuse, severe injury is prevented. - the screw on domes for the housing of the power supply may break, and as a result, the housing itself may partially or completely come apart due to carious factors.It cannot be ruled out that the two issues may coincide and there is a low risk of injury by electricity.This action was undertaken prior to consultation with the therapeutic goods administration (tga).
