All NX700 regulators are being removed from the market due to an identified potential life safety issue, XDEEP writes.
The DGX Gears BCI Backup Regulator adds convenience and streamlined efficiency to sport diving equipment configurations.
The manufacturer issued the following statement via social media.
"Our NX700 regulators are made for us in Italy, by a renowned manufacturer with many years of experience in this type of product. Before market launch, we have extensively tested them during many months of rigorous tests in extremely demanding conditions.
Unfortunately, during routine periodical maintenance servicing of some NX700 1st stages, in singular cases, we have detected some traces above-standard signs of the wear of the membrane.
Fans of diaphragm regs will be interested to learn that Scubapro launched a new regulator in Winter 2020, that’s CE certified to the new EN250A standard.
The purpose of EN250:2000 was to ensure a minimum level of safe operation for 'Open Circuit Self Contained Compressed Air Diving Apparatus' down to a maximum depth of 50 metres / 164 feet. This European Standard also specified that regulators must be independently tested to ensure they meet these minimum requirements.
Manufacturers and consumers alike expect regulators to perform to certain specifications. If you purchase a travel regulator, you expect it to deliver good performance under the conditions it was created for - in warmer water.
