Philips Respironics is dedicated to providing high-quality sleep and respiratory care devices to patients, clinicians, and business customers. In June 2021, a potential health risk related to the foam in certain CPAP, BiPAP, and Mechanical Ventilator devices was discovered, prompting a voluntary Field Safety Notice and recall notification. The affected devices, identified by specific models and manufacturing dates, have been the focus of a comprehensive remediation process. Global progress has reached 99% for actionable sleep therapy devices.

To address patient and caregiver concerns, Philips will communicate directly with Durable Medical Equipment providers regarding further remediation steps. Products unaffected by the recall have different sound abatement foam materials, reflecting advancements over time. The company continues to provide updates, testing and research information, and support for affected patients and their clinicians. Ongoing efforts are aimed at restoring trust and delivering the best possible care.
