Westmed Recalls Neo-Vent Infant T-Piece Resuscitation Circuits Due to Fit Issues

Westmed, Inc. is recalling Neo-Vent Infant T-Piece Resuscitation Circuits because a manufacturing error resulted in non-compliant 15mm OD connections, preventing use with compatible infant resuscitators.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text describes a functional fit issue rather than a direct safety hazard or reported injury, aligning with the criteria for moderate severity involving low-risk issues or voluntary precautionary actions.

Plain-English summary

Westmed, Inc. is recalling 625 cases of Neo-Vent Infant T-Piece Resuscitation Circuits (REF 0415). These circuits are intended for use with compatible infant resuscitators and are distributed worldwide, including in the United States and Spain.

The recall was initiated because a repair to an adapter mold resulted in the production of parts with compliant 10mm ID connections but non-compliant 15mm OD connections. This manufacturing defect prevents facilities with infant resuscitators that connect via the 15mm OD fitting from using the affected circuits.

The affected units are identified by the following codes: 101118T42, 101118T44, 102918T01, 080618T02, 080618T03, 101118T43, and 102918T02. Facilities should stop using the affected circuits and contact Westmed, Inc. for instructions on how to proceed.
