Important Philips Respironics Recall Information:
A voluntary recall has been issued by Philips Respironics for certain Continuous and Non-Continuous Ventilators, including specific CPAP, BiLevel PAP, and Ventilator devices. This recall is due to concerns regarding the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam used in these devices. For complete details about the recall, including a list of affected products and potential health risks, please visit philips.com/src-update.
We strongly advise you to use the Philips website to check if your device is impacted by entering your device serial number. Device registration for replacement can also be completed on this site. For a step-by-step guide on how to register your device, please watch How to Register Your Philips SRC Medical Device – YouTube. Key points to be aware of include:
- We are actively seeking further information from Philips, the manufacturer, to fully understand the situation and its implications for our patients.
- While the decision to continue or discontinue using your CPAP machine rests with you, Philips recommends ceasing device use temporarily, provided it does not pose immediate health risks.
- Please consider the following factors when making your decision:
- Would not using your device compromise your ability to drive or operate machinery safely?
- Could abstaining from device use create unsafe conditions in your workplace?
- If these concerns apply to you, it may be necessary to continue using your device while adhering to Philips’ safety guidelines:
- Install 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 temperatures or humidity.
- If you are currently using an ozone-based cleaning device with your Philips unit, discontinue use immediately.
