Massive bipap/cpap machine recall

[Karl_K]

Yesterday Philips announced a recall for pretty much every bipap and cpap machine they make or have made recently.

Medical Device Recall Information - Philips Respironics Sleep and Respiratory Care devices

In June 2021, after discovering a potential health risk related to a part in certain CPAP, BiPAP and Mechanical Ventilator devices, Philips issued a voluntary Field Safety Notice (outside U.S.) / voluntary recall notification (U.S. only).

I have no idea what im going to do but I can not sleep without bipap do will likely have to use it until I can get it fixed.
I did not use ozone cleaners and it hasn't seen high heat high humidity so the risks should be low.

Oh man! Can they temporarily swap it out for something from another manufacturer, like Resmed? It seems absurd to just recall a machine without giving you an alternative.

Also, I don't know if this is an option for you, but have you seen this?

Inspire Sleep Apnea Innovation - Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment

Inspire® therapy is a mask-free solution for people with obstructive sleep apnea who have tried and struggled with CPAP. No mask. No hose. Just sleep.™

I couldn't get through to my bipap supplier today am going to try tomorrow.

That's not an option as the air way is just one problem, I need the pressure so I breath deeper. I can sleep with higher oxygen flow sitting for a few days but over time need the pressure.
Thanks for the link! :}

We need to keep oxygen flowing to that beautiful brain of yours!
