The Swedish manufacturer's recall affects hoses made over a near-three-year period, from June 2006 to March 2009.
"The recall has been placed due to a potential manufacturing malfunction, whereby a blue or black plastic flow-restricting insert needs to be substituted," says Si Tech.
Divers should “not dive with a hose subject to this recall until the insert has been removed by knowledgeable personnel”.
Hoses may have been bought individually, but the most likely scenario is that they were bought as part of an equipment package.
Divers who think that they might be affected should contact the dealer from which they bought the equipment or, if that is not possible, Si Tech directly.
Hose flanges carry serial markings, the details of which in terms of identifying affected units are too complex to explain here. An explanation of the marking system, complete with a full table of affected serial numbers is, however, viewable at the Si Tech website.
