CPAP RECALL NOTICE

Philips Respironics recently announced a voluntary recall of certain Bi-Level PAP, CPAP, and mechanical ventilator devices, due to problems with the foam sound abatement system in these devices. This foam may degrade into particles, which device users may then inhale or ingest, and off-gas certain chemicals. Health risks related to ingestion or inhalation of the particles and off-gassing include headache, irritation, hypersensitivity, nausea, vomiting, and possible toxic or carcinogenic effects.

If you or a family member is currently using this device and have not yet been informed of the recall by the prescribing sleep specialist, you should contact them directly as soon as possible.

Patients may also call Philips at 877-907-7508 for additional support.
