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: From 170431 through to 177209 (inclusive)
and
LK101A1.2: From 170433 through to 176974 (inclusive)
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.

Re-worked UltraLinks- How to identify a re-worked device:
All recalled UltraLink devices from the affected batches, which have been re-worked in our factory, have been Dot-matrix marked with a letter ‘A’.
The re-work marking is located on the side of the guard which surrounds the spring-loaded button. This ’A’ marking enables users and PPE Inspectors to identify that a device that falls within the recalled batch range, has undergone rework, and has been deemed suitable for return to service. Please see the 'downloads' section for more information.
