Westmed recalls Neo-Vent Infant T-Piece Resuscitation Circuits with faulty 15mm OD and 10mm ID connections that may prevent use with infant resuscitators.
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 due to manufacturing defects causing incompatible connections. This means hospitals and caregivers using these circuits with infant resuscitators may not be able to use them properly.
The circuits were made with both compliant 10mm ID connections and non-compliant 15mm OD connections. This mismatch prevents the circuits from connecting properly with infant resuscitators that use 15mm OD fittings.
Healthcare facilities and caregivers using infant resuscitators with the recalled Neo-Vent circuits may be affected. Those with the specific model numbers listed are most at risk.
Check for the model numbers: 101118T42, 101118T44, 102918T01, 080618T02, 080618T03, 101118T43, 102918T02. The circuits have a 15mm OD x 10mm ID connector.
Identify if your circuit has the model numbers listed: 101118T42, 101118T44, 102918T01, 080618T02, 080618T03, 101118T43, or 102918T02.
The circuits were manufactured with both compliant 10mm ID connections and non-compliant 15mm OD connections, causing incompatibility with infant resuscitators that use 15mm OD fittings.
Check if your circuit has the model numbers listed. If it does, contact Westmed for guidance on safe use or replacement.
The recall record does not specify a remedy, so no fix is mentioned. You may need to contact Westmed directly for assistance.
