Philips is recalling all V60 and V60 Plus ventilators because an internal power fluctuation may cause the ventilator to shut down unintentionally either with or without any visible or audible alarms.
The recall was initiated “because an internal power fluctuation may cause the ventilator to shut down unintentionally either with or without any visible or audible alarms. The power fluctuation causes a reboot of the backup alarm controller, which may lead to a complete shutdown of the ventilator without warning.
Affected ventilators may cease ventilation either with or without alarms. Such failures may lead to patients being deprived of oxygen for an extended time, which could cause serious adverse health consequences and death. As of April 14, 2022, there have been reports of 4 injuries and 1 death associated with the use of the recalled devices.”

The center is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day.Philips Respironics had recalled some of its CPAP and BiPAP machines after testing identified possible health risks related to the sound abatement foam used in the machines.
