Westmed recalls adult oxygen/CO2 masks with potential loose connections that could delay treatment. Learn if your mask is affected and what to do.
There is a potential that the fitment between the oxygen delivery tube and the mask adapter may become loose. This could result in the device tubing not making a secure connection to the mask adapter resulting in a possible delay in treatment.
Westmed is recalling adult oxygen/CO2 masks that may have loose connections between the oxygen tube and mask adapter, which could delay treatment. This is serious because medical oxygen delivery requires a secure connection to prevent treatment interruptions.
The oxygen delivery tube may become loose when connecting to the mask adapter. This could cause the device to not seal properly, delaying critical oxygen treatment for patients who need it.
Patients using medical oxygen therapy with this mask model are affected. Those with respiratory conditions requiring continuous oxygen delivery are at highest risk.
Check for the model number REF 0562K on the mask. This product was distributed outside the US with lot number 081920N38.
Ensure the oxygen delivery tube is tightly secured to the mask adapter before use.
