Westmed Neo-Vent Infant T-Piece Circuit Recall: 15mm OD Connection Issue
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.
