What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states the agency classification is Class I, which mandates a severity score of 5 (Critical) according to the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Philips Respironics, Inc. is recalling specific units of the Trilogy EVO Ventilator (Model Number: ES2100X15B) and Trilogy EVO Universal Ventilator. The recall affects units running software versions SW 1.00.05, SW 1.01.09.00, SW 1.01.10.00, or SW 1.01.11.00. The device is intended for pediatric through adult patients weighing at least 2.5 kg.

The recall is due to a software defect that causes inoperative and loss of all power alarms. This defect results in incorrect or unexpected outcomes that fail specific safety requirements (TSRS1298 and PRD439). The loss of power alarms means the device may not alert users to critical power issues.

The recall is classified as Class I by the FDA, indicating a reasonable probability that use of the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. The distribution pattern indicates the affected units were distributed outside the United States to countries including CH, DE, DK, IT, FR, IE, GB, KW, QA, PL, ES, AT, PH, AE, SI, and CZ. No specific serial numbers are listed in the provided source text other than a single example (H24371562F66B).
