CPAP Recall Explained
In June 2021, Philips announced a worldwide recall of their CPAP and BiPAP devices as well as ventilators. This was owing to safety problems with the PE-PUR sound abatement foam utilized in these devices. This foam, over time, can break down into particles that users might take in or swallow. Using these devices brings considerable health concerns to those utilizing them for sleep apnea, respiratory support, or mechanical ventilation.
