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: The FDA classified this as a Class I recall. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the hazard poses potential risk to a patient's ventilation, which is a critical life function. FDA Class I classification requires a minimum Severe severity rating.
Plain-English summary
A limited number of Philips Respironics V60 ventilators have been recalled. These systems were assembled with expired adhesive used in the mounting bracket assembly.
If the expired adhesive fails, the bracket may become loose and potentially damage the capacitors, which could cause the ventilator to stop providing ventilation to the patient. The device could activate both visual and audible alarms when this occurs, or it could fail silently without any alarm notification.
The recall involves 16 ventilator systems that have been distributed across multiple U.S. states including Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Specific serial numbers have been identified by the FDA.
Healthcare providers who have received affected units should immediately discontinue use and contact the manufacturer for guidance on replacement or repair.
