Oceanic DX Regulator Recall
29 November 2007
Oceanic Australia have just advised us of a recall of the Oceanic DX (diaphram) type Regulator First Stages built between 1st May and 15th November, 2006.
In essence, the situation is as follows:
- All FDX-10 and CDX-5 Regulators manufactured between 1st May and 15th Nov 2006 could be effected, but may not be. The effected Regulators can be identified by their serial numbers at http://www.oceanicworldwide.com/dxretrofit/oceanic/default.asp.
- If the Regulator is listed, it must be retrofitted with a new seat and O ring. If the Regulator is not listed, it does not require retrofit unless it has been serviced (i.e. annual or other service) in which case it may have been fitted with a potentially bad seat.
- All FDX-10 & CDX-5 Regulators manufactured after 15th Nov 2006 are not effected by the potentially bad seat unless they has been serviced (i.e. annual or other service) in which case they may have been fitted with a potentially bad seat.
- Any DX Regulator serviced between 1st May 2006 and 28 November 2007 could have been fitted with a potentially bad seat and will have to be recalled.
If your Oceanic DX Regulator is one of those affected, STOP USING IT. Then, BRING IT IN FOR A RETROFIT of the parts involved by The Scuba Doctor, or the Oceanic Dealer where you purchased it, or another local Authorised Oceanic Service Center.
If you're unsure if your regulator is affected, bring it in and we'll check it for you. We have the new, unaffected service kits in stock.
WARNING: DO NOT CONTINUE USE of the Regulator First Stage until it receives a Retrofit.
