Philips Respironics recalls V60 Plus Ventilators with part number 1138747 due to expired adhesive that may cause silent shutdowns. Affected units have specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice.
A limited number of ventilators were assembled with expired adhesive. If the adhesive fails, a bracket may become loose and potentially damage the capacitors, which could cause the ventilator to stop providing ventilation to the patient.
