November 2023
Important Safety Notice: ISC UltraLink
Safety Notice/Product Recall
Following on from our inspection notice issued 17 November 2023, our team has been intensively investigating the potential risk and the root cause of the problem. Our investigation identified that the press fixture used to secure the assembly of the SafeLock button moved outside of specification, creating the potential for a faulty press fit of the button, which can lead to the button turning open and coming apart.
STOP USE
Due to the risk of unintentional opening of the device, which could result in a life-threatening situation, we are issuing this notice instructing users to stop using their device, if it falls within the range of serial numbers:
LK100A1.2: 170431 – 177209; or LK101A1.2: 170433 – 176974.
STOP USING ANY OF THE ABOVE ITEMS IMMEDIATELYAND REMOVE THEM FROM SERVICE
Manufacturing corrective actions have been introduced to repair and ensure that the press fixture remains within specification; and additional procedures have been introduced to ensure that the SafeLock buttons are secured correctly. Validation testing has been successfully completed and production of UltraLinks has resumed, with this new process in place.

User Safety Notice
M1 SCBA Catch spring/Retainer PR18 Pressure Reducer
April, 2023
PLEASE READ NOW AND TAKE ACTION
Dear MSA Customer,
MSA has received a report from a customer that recently found isolated instances of a missing retention screw and a deformed catch spring. The PR18 pressure reducer is secured to the backplate by a U-clip, which is held in place by the catch spring when the catch spring is properly attached to the backplate via the retention screw. If the retention screw is missing, or catch spring is deformed, there is potential for the U-clip to disengage, allowing the reducer to move, which can lead to disconnection of the medium pressure line, and exposure of the user to the surrounding environment. MSA has not received any reports of injuries associated with this condition. However, it is necessary that you stop use and perform the actions outlined in this notice.
Please got to this address for full instructions of Issue

What is the issue?
3M has notified us that it has been receiving a raw material from its supplier that contains Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) above the allowed limit according to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS). This raw material has then been used in the manufacture of certain faceseals, shrouds and helmet covers.
The affected M-Series Faceshield and Helmets that use these faceseals, shrouds and helmet covers continue to meet all the respiratory protection requirements, as well as the eye, face and head protection required by the standards.
The products have been evaluated by toxicology professionals in the 3M Corporate Toxicology and Environmental Science Department. Based on these reviews, these products are not expected to pose a health risk when used as intended and in accordance with the instructions for use.
What do you need to do?
If this notice regarding an instance of non-compliance is of concern and you require a replacement part, you will need to remove the faceseal from your existing head top and return it back to us. We will then issue you a replacement faceseal free of charge which you will then need to fit back to your head top before continuing to use as normal.
Contact our Customer Services Team on 0330 390 2050 or at customer.services@support.arco.co.uk to arrange a return and order a replacement face seal.
For those working in high heat environments where sparks, hot particles or molten metal are present, there is currently no replacement faceseal available. If you have any concerns or wish to discuss replacement options, please contact your Account Manager in the first instance.
We apologise on behalf of 3M for any inconvenience caused. We take matters like this very seriously and are seeking the necessary updates and assurances from 3M to ensure this issue is resolved as soon as possible and does not happen again.
Your Sincerely
Neil Dodds
General Counsel and Company Secretary
