Getinge Washer-Disinfector

Reason

On some units of the model Washer-Disinfector 8668 the pump hose can collapse during the washing process. This error is a result from a faulty rubber compound in the process from supplier. If the issue occurs there will be low water pressure to the spray arms which will lead to slow movement of the spray arm and less water flow. This can result in uncleaned goods after finished process.
