Westmed Adult CO2/O2 Mask Recall Due to Loose Tube Fitment

Westmed is recalling 1,200 units of Adult CO2/O2 Masks because the oxygen delivery tube may become loose, potentially delaying treatment.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where a loose connection could delay treatment, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Westmed, Inc. is recalling 1,200 units of REF 0562F Adult CO2/O2 Masks. The recall involves a specific lot (091720N71) distributed outside the US, with broader distribution reported across the US and in Canada, Korea, and the United Kingdom.

The recall is issued because 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, which may lead to a possible delay in treatment.

The affected product is intended to connect with an oxygen source to deliver oxygen therapy to the patient. Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for the specific lot number and product description listed in the recall notice.
