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, which requires a minimum severity of 4 per the classification guidelines. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the defect creates risk of complete loss of ventilation in a critical life-support device.
Plain-English summary
Respironics California is recalling 294 Philips Respironics V60 Plus ventilator systems (Model V60, Part Number 1138747). These units were assembled with expired adhesive on the capacitor motor driver PCB bracket component.
The expired adhesive may fail, causing the bracket to become loose. A loose bracket can damage the capacitors, potentially resulting in the ventilator stopping ventilation delivery to the patient. This failure could occur either with or without alarm notification.
The recalled systems were distributed across the United States, including Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
The potential for a ventilator to suddenly stop ventilation without notice represents a serious safety concern for patients dependent on these devices for respiratory support.
