Philips Respironics recalls Garbin EVO Ventilators with specific software versions due to power alarm failure risk. Affected units may not alert to critical issues, potentially causing safety hazards for patients using ventilators.
Software defect in the Trilogy EVO and Trilogy EVO Universal Ventilator, versions SW 1.00.05, SW 1.01.09.00, SW 1.01.10.00, and SW 1.01.11.00, causing inoperative and loss of all power alarms. This defect causes an incorrect or unexpected result failing requirements TSRS1298 and PRD439.
Philips Respironics is recalling Garbin EVO Ventilators with certain software versions because they may stop working and lose all power alarms. This could mean critical safety alerts aren't functioning, which is dangerous for patients using ventilators.
The software defect causes the ventilator to lose all power alarms, meaning it won't alert users to critical issues like low battery or system failures. This could lead to undetected problems that might harm patients if the ventilator stops working unexpectedly.
Patients using the Garbin EVO Ventilator for pediatric or adult care, especially those weighing at least 2.5 kg. Those with medical conditions requiring ventilator support are most at risk.
Check for the model number LD2110X23B and serial numbers listed in the recall notice. The ventilator is intended for patients weighing at least 2.5 kg and is used for medical breathing support.
Review the software version on your ventilator to see if it matches the affected versions listed in the recall.
Reach out to Philips Respironics for guidance on next steps if your ventilator has the affected software versions.
