AirLife/Vyaire Recalls Defective Infant Breathing Circuits Over Risk of Serious Injury or Death


AirLife and manufacturer Vyaire Medical have issued a recall of specific infant heated wire breathing circuits due to a risk that certain accessory adapters may disconnect unintentionally during use, posing a serious safety hazard to neonatal and infant patients.

The affected devices, identified as AirLife Infant Heated Wire Circuit dual-limb dual-heat, high-flow circuits (model AH165), are used to warm and deliver breathing gases from ventilators to infants requiring respiratory support. The recall includes units distributed under both the AirLife and Vyaire brands.

According to the manufacturer, the problem occurs when the breathing circuit reaches operating temperature, potentially causing the accessory adapter to detach from the system during setup or use. This disconnection can interrupt the flow of respiratory gas to the patient.

Use of the recalled product may lead to life-threatening complications, including insufficient oxygen (hypoxia), elevated carbon dioxide levels (hypercapnia), organ failure, and potentially death.
