Vyaire Medical Recalls Pediatric AirLife Resuscitation Devices Due to Mask Sticking
Vyaire Medical is recalling 1,140 pediatric AirLife resuscitation devices because the mask may stick to the elbow, making it difficult to disconnect.
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 emergency ventilation where a mechanical failure (mask sticking) could impede patient care, representing a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Vyaire Medical is recalling 1,140 units of the AirLife Resuscitation, Pediatric, with mask, 40inch oxygen reservoir tubing, pressure-relief valve, and Broselow. These manual resuscitation devices are used to provide positive pressure ventilation to patients who are not breathing or cannot adequately breathe on their own.
The recall was initiated because the mask component on various lots of the devices has been identified as having the potential to exhibit a sticking condition. This issue may result in a difficult or unable to disconnect condition of the mask from the elbow of the resuscitator.
The affected products are distributed worldwide, including in the United States (nationwide), Canada, Puerto Rico, the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines, and Europe. The specific part number is 2K8080BR, and the affected lots are 0000890354, 0000890352, 0000940373, 0000979974, and 0000994500.
