Trilogy Evo Respiratory Device Recalled for Software Pressure Issues

Philips Respironics has recalled Trilogy Evo Universal respiratory devices (model DS2000X11B) for software defects that increase pressure, particularly in pediatric and infant applications.

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 an FDA Class II medical device recall for a respiratory support device with software defects causing unintended pressure increases in infants and pediatric patients. No hospitalizations or injuries are reported in the source, placing this in the category of risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Philips Respironics has recalled the Trilogy Evo Universal respiratory device (model DS2000X11B) due to software defects that affect pressure delivery. Two distinct software issues have been identified: one affecting calibration of pressure delivery to infants and pediatric patients, and another that causes pressure to drift during continuous usage.

Both issues result in unintended pressure increases within the device. For respiratory support equipment used with vulnerable populations, uncontrolled pressure changes pose a risk of harm. The defect affects multiple software versions including 1.02.01.00, 1.03.05.00, 1.03.07.00, 1.04.02.00, 1.04.06, 1.05.01, and 1.06.02.

The device has been distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States, for use in medical facilities and emergency response systems.
