What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

Getinge Disinfection Ab is recalling 170 units of the Getinge AGS, FSLC, FSUC, and RC accessories intended for the Washer-Disinfector 86 Series. These automated loading and unloading systems function as conveyor or transport mechanisms for wash carts and are considered accessories to the medical washer-disinfectors. The affected products were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and numerous international markets.

The recall is being issued because there is a potential for a cart containing disinfected goods to unload without the trolley being properly docked. If this occurs, the disinfected goods could fall to the floor, creating a risk of injury to nearby users and causing damage to the goods and equipment.

Healthcare facilities and users should identify the affected units by checking the serial numbers listed in the recall documentation. Users should contact Getinge Disinfection Ab for instructions on how to resolve the issue and ensure the safety of their equipment.
