I received an e-mail today from Dive Rite Express notifying me of a recall on some of the Analytical Industries O2 sensor sold by Dive Rite Express and others. This is the e-mail I received: Dear Dive Rite Express or Fill Express customer,

This message is being sent to you because our records indicate you have purchased oxygen sensors. These sensors are manufactured by Analytical Industries for use in diving applications, and sold by several companies including Dive Rite Express under a variety of part numbers. Recently, there are reports of severely shortened life and/or eratic behaviors with some of these oxygen sensors. Upon investigation Analytical Industries determined the cause was a change in their manufacturing process that began in June 2007.

Dive Rite Express would like to offer FREE replacement of the suspect oxygen sensors. They are black in color and may be labeled with the Dive Rite Express name and/or the Analytical Industries name. The sensors have a serial number indicating year and month that begins with the three digits 706, 707, 708, 709, or 710. We recommend discontinuing the use of these sensors.

We expect to begin receiving supplies of corrected sensors from the manufacturer in the next few days. You may send us the serial numbers of any suspect sensors. As appropriate, we will ship replacements to the address you specify along with a pre-paid return envelope for the suspect sensors. You may reply to this e-mail (n2diving@DiveRiteExpress.com) or telephone us at 954-786-0661.

We apologize for this inconvenience, but feel replacement of the sensors is in your best interest.

Sincerely,
Mark Derrick
Fill Express, LLC
Dive Rite Express

Thanks to Dive Rite Express for informing thier customers of a possible problem.

and we have to find out about this recall 3rd hand from a poster on the forum instead of the manufacturer?

typical f_cked up lack of professional responisibility i come to expect from many suppiers of life support components and systems

Drmike whos 4th new AI sensor on the trot failed 3hrs into last dive

I hope those people (including a certain mnf) who promote people change all 3 cells all at the same time think about the potential consequences after reading about the above batch failure.

Is it true (as Ive just been informed) that the guy who died in Malin was using 3 new AI cells?
If so do we know if he toxed?
