Philips Respironics announced a voluntary recall for certain CPAP, BiLevel PAP and Ventilator Devices manufactured prior to April 21, 2021.
This recall is due to two issues related to the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam used in these devices.
Philips is notifying customers and users of affected devices that they will replace the current sound abatement foam with a new material that is not affected by this issue. Affected devices currently will be either replaced with a new or refurbished unit that incorporates the new material, or repaired to replace the sound abatement foam in customer units.

Rotech is committed to providing safe CPAP/BiPAP and Ventilator equipment for all patients.

What do I do to send my machine back due to the recall on CPAP machines from Phillips Respironics?
Hi Lori,
Philips Respironics is handling all recall issues and replacements directly. Respironics is asking all patients to register their recalled equipment at http://www.philips.com/src-update or call them at 1-877-907-7508.
I have not been contacted about my cpap machine. What do I use in the meantime?

What does Rotech recommend about use of affected CPAP machines? Use or discontinue? I do not use a cleaning machine, only soap and water. My sleep physician told me to ask my DME supplier (Rotech) this question.
If you have a CPAP or Bi-Level device subject to the recall, Respironics recommends you stop using the device and contact your physician to discuss treatment alternatives or whether the risks of untreated obstructive sleep apnea outweigh the risks of continued use. This is a personal decision between you and your physician.
