Oceanic and AERIS Digital Dive Computers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Pelagic is recalling Oceanic ATOM 2.0 and AERIS EPIC brand digital dive computers due to a software defect that can cause the display to freeze when switching between gases during a dive. When the display locks up, it fails to show the main dive screen with dive time information, which could lead divers to unknowingly enter decompression stages or ascend too quickly, potentially causing decompression sickness.
The recall affects Oceanic ATOM 2.0 dive computers with serial numbers 1 through 2,079 (Revisions 2E, 3A, and 3B) manufactured between August 23 and November 23, 2006, and AERIS EPIC dive computers with serial numbers 1 through 712 (Revision 1A) manufactured between October 18 and November 14, 2006. According to the record, consumers should stop using the recalled dive computers and take them to an authorized Oceanic or AERIS dealer to receive a free software upgrade.
