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: FDA Class I classification mandates a severity score of at least 4. Malfunction of a respiratory device with blocked air inlet reduces therapy delivery, posing serious risk to patients dependent on ventilator support.
Plain-English summary
Philips Respironics is recalling the Philips Garbin Ventilator, Model Number 1058180B, affecting 9 specific units. The replacement silicone sound abatement foam installed in these devices may separate from its plastic backing.
