Key Considerations for Health Partners Hudson Patients During the Recall
We are working diligently to stay informed about the Philips Respironics recall and will continue to share updates as we receive them. Here are some important points to consider as a Health Partners Hudson patient:
- We are actively seeking further information from Philips, the manufacturer, to better understand the situation and its implications for our patients.
- The decision to continue or discontinue using your CPAP device is ultimately yours. However, Philips has advised discontinuing use, provided it does not pose immediate health risks.
- Carefully consider your individual health needs and circumstances. Ask yourself:
- Would not using your machine compromise your ability to drive or operate machinery safely?
- Could it create unsafe conditions in your workplace?
- If the answer to either of these questions is yes, you might consider continuing to use your device while adhering to Philips’ safety guidelines:
- Utilize an inline bacterial filter. Refer to your device’s Instructions for Use for guidance on proper installation.
- Avoid storing your CPAP machine in environments with high heat or humidity.
- If you have been using an ozone device for cleaning, discontinue its use with your Philips Respironics unit.
