Mercury Medical is recalling approximately 37,370 Neo-Tee T-Piece Resuscitators used for pediatric emergency respiratory support. These gas-powered devices contain an undersized spring in the circuit flow controller that may prevent the resuscitator from reaching the required high and low pressure ranges (PIP and PEEP). This defect can cause a loss of positive pressure, which prevents the device from effectively ventilating the patient during an emergency. No injuries have been reported to date.
The undersized spring can cause the device to fail to reach or maintain critical ventilation pressure levels. This failure impacts the effective ventilation of pediatric patients, potentially leading to respiratory distress or insufficient oxygenation during life-saving procedures.
Quantity affected: 37,370 units.
