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 medical device used for resuscitation where a mechanical failure (mask sticking) poses a risk of harm to patients, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Vyaire Medical is recalling 6 units of AirLife Resuscitation, Infant, with mask, 40 inch oxygen reservoir tubing, pressure-relief valve, CO2 detector, and manometer. The affected devices are manual resuscitation devices used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing or cannot adequately breathe on their own.
