Philips Respironics V60 Ventilator Recall

Update: On June 3, 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified the Philips Respironics Recall for all V60 and V60 Plus Ventilators as a Class 1 recall, the most serious type of recall.

According to an online news report on fingerlakes1.com, Philips Respironics has announced a new safety recall. The recall concerns its V60 ventilator product family. The recall announcement states that the recall was initiated after it discovered this ventilator has a defect causing “electrical issues.” In a Food and Drug Administration article concerning this recall, there is a possibility that the issue involves the ventilator’s electrical circuit. The electrical circuit controls the ventilator’s 35V power supply to the alarm and ventilator.

According to the recall alert, the recalled machines could stop working without turning on the alarm. The affected ventilator models include:

  • V60
  • V60 Plus
  • V680

Philips stated that it is currently trying to contact all known buyers of the recalled ventilators. Those who own the recalled ventilators should perform one of the following actions to prevent an issue.

  • Execute an oxygen analyzer using the correct alarm settings for each V680, V60, or V60 Plus ventilator; and/or
  • Connect the V680, V60, or V60 Plus ventilator to a nurse remote alarm system, as noted in the instructions; Philips Respironics can also furnish technical assistance to set up this nurse call alarm capability; and/or
  • Observe the patient with physiological monitoring and pulse oximetry.

Should these options not be possible, stop using the recalled ventilators.

Jo-Anne and the team at Parker Waichman is the absolute best. After being rear ended in May I have been contacted on a constant basis, I have been checked up on by them and the rest of the team more than my actual family. They are great listeners and are available. Calling the office is a breeze and never a long wait. I would recommend anyone to them especially based on my experience with them. I really don't think that there is a better set of Lawyers to help with my particular case.
