Outrageous!
Well-Shin? Oh, obviously of the best quality, then, from such a well-known name. In my opinion, the suppliers (that is, the people taking the money) should have been told to come in and sort that lot out!
But (forgive me for asking), how come such rubbish gets through the in-house acceptance procedure in the first place? This is Britain ... we use BS-1363 mains plugs and sockets here!
Back "in my day" (that is, when safety was a practical issue to be taken seriously, and not just a matter of so-called "risk assessment"), "adaptors" (or what our American friends sometimes like to accurately describe as
cheaters) in any shape or form were always actively discouraged. And quite rightly too.
Perhaps I should have said earlier "three
prongs don't make a right"!
PS: having just glanced at the Medical Device Alert concerned, now I'm even more depressed! Just look at how (badly) they've laid out the "problem":-
"These adapter leads have an unacceptably low insulation resistance. This presents a risk of electrocution as 240 V can flow through the metal frame of the bed if an open circuit earth fault develops."Mind you, if anyone has the time (and the inclination) for some
real shockers, just take a look at
this little lot! Actually, there are some "real beauts" in there (some may even seem almost unbelievable to the more inexperienced "younger viewer")!
