Philips Respironics recalls BiPAP V30 Auto Ventilator (Part Number 1111178) due to potential interruption of therapy during Ventilator Inoperative alarms, which may lead to hypoventilation, hypoxemia, hypercarbia, respiratory failure, or death in vulnerable patients.
Potential for devices to experience interruption/loss of therapy during a Ventilator Inoperative alarm. This may lead to hypoventilation, mild to severe hypoxemia, hypercarbia, respiratory failure/insufficiency, or potentially death in the most vulnerable patients.
Philips Respironics is recalling BiPAP V30 Auto Ventilators with specific serial numbers because they can experience therapy interruptions during Ventilator Inoperative alarms. This risk could cause hypoventilation, low oxygen levels, high carbon dioxide, respiratory failure, or death in patients who rely on these devices.
The device may stop providing therapy when the Ventilator Inoperative alarm sounds, which can happen due to a malfunction in the system. This interruption could lead to hypoventilation (inadequate breathing), low oxygen levels (hypoxemia), high carbon dioxide levels (hypercarbia), respiratory failure, or even death in patients who require continuous ventilator support.
Patients using the BiPAP V30 Auto Ventilator for respiratory therapy are most at risk, particularly those with chronic respiratory conditions who depend on continuous ventilation support.
