What Models of Philips CPAP Machines are Being Recalled?

In June of 2021, Philips Respironics Inc recalled certain CPAP machines, ventilators, Bilevel PAP, BiPAP, or BIPAP, due to dangerous health risks. The polyester-based polyurethane foam in these machines, utilized to lessen sound, can ultimately break down into tiny particles and enter the device’s airways. The degradation of foam particles can potentially be toxic and increase the risk of certain chemicals if inhaled. This could lead to a severe injury if ingested and ultimately result in a more serious health condition.
