Westmed recalls Neo-Vent Infant T-Piece Resuscitation Circuits with 15mm OD connections that may not fit infant resuscitators. Affected units have 10mm ID and 15mm OD connectors.
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 15mm OD connector may not fit with some infant resuscitators, preventing safe use in medical settings.
The adapter mold repair created circuits with both compliant 10mm ID connections and non-compliant :15mm OD connections. This means the circuits may not fit with infant resuscitators that use 15mm OD fittings, preventing safe medical use.

Check for the model numbers 101518U04, 102318U07, or 101618U03 on the circuit. These units have 15mm OD x 10mm ID connectors and were sold with specific reference numbers.
