  • Brand UWATEC AG, of Hallwil, Switzerland

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

UWATEC AG is recalling Aladin Air X NitrOx dive computers manufactured in 1995 due to a software defect. The software may inaccurately calculate desaturation times, which could result in decompression sickness during aggressive diving conditions. The affected dive computers are blue and black with "Aladin" and "NitrOx" printed on the front, and can be identified by checking the back of the unit in the lower right corner for a date code showing the month and year of manufacture (for example, "01.95" for January 1995). Only dive computers manufactured in 1995 are affected by this recall.

According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using these dive computers and contact UWATEC for a free replacement. UWATEC will provide the current model, Aladin Air Z NitrOx, as a replacement unit.
