AERIS Issues Important Consumer Product Bulletin


BC Inflator mechanisms exhibit problems that have been corrected by re-designed parts. Company urges consumers to be aware and bring affected products to their local AERIS retailer for repair.

AERIS CONSUMER NOTICE STOP PRODUCT USE BUOYANCY COMPENSATOR INFLATORS

AERIS has been informed by its supplier that they have received isolated reports of BC Inflator mechanisms exhibiting continual flow of air into the BC after release of the power inflation button.

Affected are AERIS AW3 model Inflators that are fitted on AERIS Atmos XT BCs that were sold between May 1, 2004, and June 24, 2004. BCs sold prior to May 1, 2004, do not have these Inflators and are not affected.

Testing and evaluation has shown that the Power Inflator Button may stick in the depressed position. Engineers have designed new replacement parts that will prevent the Button from sticking.

AERIS asks that all owners of AERIS Atmos XT BCs that have AW3 Inflators return them to an Authorized AERIS Dealer for a retrofit at no charge.

WARNING: DO NOT CONTINUE USE of the BC or attempt to disassemble any components of the Inflator. Take the BC with Inflator to your nearest Authorized AERIS Dealer for inspection and service. Only Authorized AERIS Dealers and their trained service technicians must perform this retrofit. Non-authorized personnel who attempt the retrofit procedure risk voiding the products warranty and rendering the product dangerously unsafe for normal SCUBA use.

It was the Oceanic one that I saw that looked just like the new Precision inflator from Halcyon. They had a few problems with that too.
