  • Causa
    Getinge have identified an issue which may result in a lack of drying/storage of restrictive endoscopes when they are placed in the eds8. this potential for malfunction is caused by a device design issue. it is identified that the delivered pressure and flow rate of the eds8 compressor is too low. under certain conditions (drying/storage of a restrictive endoscope), the compressor may not be powerful enough to reach the 5l/min airflow required to properly dry/store the endoscopes.Getinge have received several complaints related to this issue, but there was no reported user or patient injury.
  • Acción
    Getinge have developed a compressor with a higher flowrate to correct this issue. Getinge will contact users to arrange replacement of the current compressor.
