Philips Respironics Recalls Certain BiPAP Machines for Plastic Issue that May Expose Patients to Certain Chemicals of Concern

Philips Respironics (Philips) is recalling certain BiPAP machines that may contain a plastic contaminated with a non-compatible material. If that plastic is in the device motor, it may release certain chemicals of concern called volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The plastic may also cause the machine to fail and stop working suddenly during use. 

If the plastic causes the machine to fail and stop working suddenly, it may also lead to serious injury or death.

The FDA is not aware of any reports of serious injury or death associated with the recalled BiPAP machines due to the contaminated plastic issue.
