China NMPA Product Recall - Emergency transport ventilator

WEINMANN Emergency Medical Technology GmbH + Co.KG has initiated a voluntary Class III recall of its emergency transport ventilators. The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) published this recall on September 29, 2025, addressing a critical software anomaly. The issue stems from a specific software version within the ventilators, where, after a Bluetooth connection is established, a subsequent new Bluetooth pairing request can cause operational errors. WEINMANN (Shanghai) Medical Device Trading Co., Ltd. reported this defect, clarifying that the manufacturer, WEINMANN Emergency Medical Technology GmbH + Co.KG, is globally responsible for this action. It is important to note that the products involved in this particular recall were not imported into China. Detailed information regarding specific models, specifications, and batch numbers of the affected units is available in the accompanying "Medical Device Recall Event Report Form" released by the company. This proactive measure ensures compliance with regulatory requirements for addressing product safety concerns.
