General questions

General questions

What is the potential issue?

The foam that is used in some devices to reduce sound and vibration showed signs of degradation (damage) and chemical emissions. This was initially identified as a potential risk to health. After careful analysis, we issued a Recall Notification in the US and a Field Safety Notice in other markets.

Recent testing and analyses for the first-generation DreamStation, System One and DreamStation Go sleep therapy devices indicate that the volatile organic compounds and particulate matter emissions related to foam degradation are within applicable safety limits and are unlikely to result in appreciable harm to health in patients. However, Ozone and UV light cleaning products are not currently approved cleaning methods for sleep apnea devices or masks and should not be used. Testing and analysis related to the affected ventilators is ongoing. You can find the latest testing results here.

Following ongoing communications, Philips Respironics agreed in October 2023 to the FDA’s recommendations to implement additional testing on the sleep and respiratory care devices to supplement current test data. Philips Respironics is in discussions with the FDA on the details of further testing.

Is it safe to continue using my affected device?

The guidance for healthcare providers and patients remains unchanged since the initial recall announcement in June 2021.

It is important that you do not make any changes to your therapy without discussing with your doctor. Although you may feel anxious at the news of the recall, we encourage you to talk to your doctor about the right treatment for you. Please refer to the FDA’s guidance on continued use of affected devices.

Patient questions

Patient questions

What is the potential safety issue with the device?

The potential issue is with the foam in the device that is used to reduce sound and vibration. In some cases, this foam showed signs of degradation (damage) and chemical emissions. This is a potential risk to health.

The initial concern with the foam related to possible emission of particulates (tiny particles) from degraded foam and certain chemicals of concern, called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). As a result, testing and assessments have been carried out.

Recent testing and analyses for the first-generation DreamStation, System One and DreamStation Go sleep therapy devices indicate that the volatile organic compounds and particulate matter emissions related to foam degradation are within applicable safety limits and are unlikely to result in appreciable harm to health in patients. However, Ozone and UV light cleaning products are not currently approved cleaning methods for sleep apnea devices or masks and should not be used.

Can I trust the new foam? How are you removing the old foam safely?

We know how important it is to feel confident that your therapy device is safe to use. While recalled devices contained a polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam component, the sound abatement foam in all new and remediated devices is a silicone foam*. When we refurbish the affected devices with a new blower and air pathway, we also clean and disinfect them.

Silicone foam is commonly used across the CPAP industry. This silicone foam has met all applicable industry testing standards, including particulate and VOC emissions testing, and is authorized as part of our remediation. In addition, it has been extensively tested for Philips Respironics by multiple independent, certified laboratories in accordance with the applicable regulatory standards, and no safety issues have been identified. Philips Respironics is in discussions with the FDA on the details of further testing.

This foam is cleared for use by the FDA in the DreamStation 2 CPAP device and authorized as part of our remediation.

When we refurbish the affected devices with a new blower and air pathway, we also clean and disinfect them. Our trained service professionals can make sure that the affected foam is completely and safely removed, and that the new silicone foam is inserted correctly.

If you are a patient who has been affected by this recall, please do not try to remove the foam from your device. This could affect the prescribed therapy and may void the warranty.

*Trilogy Evo devices provided as loaners do not contain the silicone foam or the affected PE-PUR foam.

Will I be charged or billed for an unreturned unit?

We ask that patients return their affected units as part of the repair and replacement program related to the recall / field safety notice.

The replacement device I’ve received has the same model number as my affected device. Is this replacement device affected by the recall too?

No- the replacement device you have received is not affected by the recall/ field safety notice, because the foam in the device has been replaced with a new type of foam. During the recertification process for replacement devices, we do not change the device serial number or model number.

My replacement device isn’t working or I have questions about it. What do I do?

Your Durable Medical Equipment provider (DME) can best support your questions about setup and support of your replacement device. Please contact your DME directly. To find a DME in your area, please reach out to your physician or insurance provider.
