What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall of a medical device (ventilator repair kit) where non-conforming foam material may degrade into inhaled or ingested particles. Per the severity rubric, FDA Class I recalls require a minimum severity score of 4, despite no reported illnesses, due to the serious potential for harm.
Plain-English summary
Philips Respironics is recalling 205 Trilogy Evo Repair Kits (RP-Trilogy Evo Muffler Assembly, Material Number 1135257, Lot Numbers 210414 through 210524) distributed in the United States and internationally. The ventilator is intended for pediatric through adult patients weighing at least 2.5 kg and provides continuous or intermittent positive pressure ventilation.
A Philips supplier incorrectly used polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam, a non-conforming material, in the devices and repair kits. This PE-PUR foam may degrade into particles that could enter the device's air pathway and be inhaled or ingested by users. Additionally, the foam may off-gas certain chemicals during initial device use. Foam degradation may be exacerbated by use of unapproved cleaning methods such as ozone cleaners.
The recalled kits were distributed to the following US states: Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. International distribution included Argentina, Brazil, Romania, and the Netherlands.
