Westmed recalls Neo-Vent Infant T-Piece Resuscitation Circuits with 15mm OD connections that may not fit infant resuscitators. Affected units have specific model numbers and were sold in 2018.
A repair was made to an adapter mold resulting in parts being produced with compliant 10mm ID connections and non-compliant 15mm OD connections. This resulted in facilities with infant resuscitators that connect via the 15mm OD fitting not being able to use those circuits.
Westmed is recalling Neo-Vent Infant T-Piece Resuscitation Circuits that have a connection issue. The problem means some hospitals can't use these circuits with their infant resuscitators because the connections don't match.
The adapter mold repair caused some circuits to have both 10mm ID and 15mm OD connections. This mismatch means circuits designed for 15mm OD fittings won't connect properly with certain infant resuscitators.
Healthcare facilities using infant resuscitators that connect via 15mm OD fittings are likely affected. The risk is low because the issue only affects specific circuit models and not all resuscitators.
Check for model numbers 101618U02, 102318U06, or 101518U03 on the circuit. These units were sold in 2018 with a 15mm OD x 10mm ID connector.
Look for model numbers 101618U02, 102318U06, or 101518U03 on the circuit.
A repair to the adapter mold caused some circuits to have both compliant 10mm ID connections and non-compliant 15mm OD connections, making them incompatible with certain infant resuscitators.
Check the model number. If it's 101618U02, 102318U06, or 101518U03, contact Westmed for guidance.
The issue only affects specific circuits and does not cause immediate injury. Facilities can still use the circuits if they have compatible resuscitators.
