Plain-English summary
Respironics California Inc is recalling 30,516 units of the Philips V60 Ventilator. The recall covers specific material numbers and serial numbers distributed worldwide, including the United States and numerous international markets.
The recall is due to a defect where low-frequency vibrations can cause pins within the female connectors on the Motor Controller to Data Acquisition Board ribbon cable to become partially displaced. This displacement creates momentary high resistance, which prevents or restricts data from traveling through the cable during the event.
The source text does not specify reported injuries, illnesses, or deaths associated with this defect. Consumers and healthcare providers should check their device serial numbers against the provided list and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
