Airvo 2 and myAirvo 2 Humidifiers: Alarm Speaker Defect Recall
Fisher & Paykel's Airvo 2 and myAirvo 2 respiratory humidifiers have a speaker defect that may silence or distort critical alarm sounds. If the alarm fails and therapy is interrupted, patients could experience oxygen desaturation.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II medical device defect that could lead to serious patient harm (oxygen desaturation) due to alarm malfunction during respiratory therapy. However, no illnesses or injuries have been reported, making this a risk-of-harm scenario where the potential for serious harm exists but has not been realized.
