Philips Respironics recalls V60 ventilators with expired adhesive that could cause silent shutdowns or alarm failures. Affected units have specific serial numbers and part numbers.
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. This failure may either activate both visual and audible alarms, or it may not sound or display an alarm (a silent shutdown).
Philips Respironics is recalling a limited number of V60 ventilators due to expired adhesive in the bracket assembly. If the adhesive fails, the ventilator may stop working without warning, risking patient safety.

Check for the part number 1053617 on the ventilator. Affected units have specific serial numbers listed in the recall notice, including MX0016593 and other codes.
