Plain-English summary

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare is recalling 1,407 units of the ICON CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) device. The affected models include ICON Auto (ICONAAN, ICONAAN-HT, ICONAAJ), ICON Novo (ICONNAN, ICONNAN-HT, ICONNAJ), and ICON Premo (ICONPBN, ICONPBN-HT, ICONPBN-HTC). The devices were distributed worldwide, including the United States, Canada, Japan, and Taiwan.

The affected units are from Lot 121210 (December 10, 2012) and Lot 121221 (December 21, 2012).

The ICON CPAP unit is intended for use on adult patients in the home or sleep laboratory to treat obstructive sleep apnea. It is not intended to be used as a life-supporting device. Consumers should contact Fisher & Paykel Healthcare for instructions on how to obtain a replacement unit.
