Vyaire Medical is recalling approximately 4,948 AirLife Infant Heated Wire Circuits (models AH165 and AH265) because the adapters may disconnect during setup or while in use. These devices are used to provide respiratory gas between a patient and a ventilator. There have been no reported injuries to date.
A disconnection in the breathing circuit can interrupt the flow of air to neonates, potentially causing severe health issues such as a lack of oxygen (hypoxia), excessive carbon dioxide in the blood (hypercapnia), and organ failure.
AirLife Infant Heated Wire Circuit dual-limb, dual-heat, high-flow circuit (>4 L/min)
