Here’s a summary of key points to be aware of during this recall period:
- We are actively monitoring the situation and are committed to providing you with updates as we receive further information from Philips, the device manufacturer.
- The decision to continue or discontinue using your CPAP machine while awaiting further instructions is ultimately yours. However, Philips has advised that, unless stopping use poses an immediate and significant health risk, device use should be discontinued as a precautionary measure.
- Consider these points when making your decision:
- Would not using your device compromise your ability to drive or operate a vehicle safely?
- Could not using your device create an unsafe situation in your workplace?
- If either of these situations applies, you might consider continuing device use while adhering to Philips’ recommended 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 any ozone-based cleaning devices with your Philips unit, discontinue their use immediately.
