Reported risk: The diaphragms in a number of the "WaterLock 2" (6872130) and "WaterLock 2 Infinity ID" (6872020) water traps in the affected lots were fitted the wrong way around. This can shorten the lifespan of the water trap and thus result in a failure of the measurement - possibly after just a few hours of operation, depending on the humidity content of the breathing gas. The anaesthetic gas monitoring will detect the failure of the measurement and will alert users by giving an appropriate technical alarm. In this case the water trap will need to be replaced.
