[QUOTE="RETOKSQUID, post: 3595032, member: 8681"] Currently on our annual middle of nowhere Wisconsin trip right now so I don't know if you all have gotten word about the Phillips CPAP & BIPAP recall yet. Only reason I found out was by accident. So I did some digging online and have found a bit of info, but have not seen or heard a thing about it on the tv or radio news yet. Some shady crap going on according to some reports online, but the nuts and bolts of it is, the foam used as sound proofing around the turbine is breaking down and finding its way into the air system, then the patient which can cause various issues, allergic reactions, irritation, etc. [B][I][U]Plus the foam is a possible carcinogenic agent when it breaks down.[/U][/I][/B] (What rocket scientist thought that it would be a good idea to use it in a breathing machine? ) [URL]https://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/e/sleep/communications/src-update[/URL] All Philips CPAP and BiLevel PAP devices manufactured by Philips prior to April 26, 2021 are under the recall.
