Approximately 7,147 Airvo 2 and myAirvo 2 Humidifier devices, used to deliver high-flow respiratory therapy, have been recalled because their internal speakers may fail. These devices, manufactured before August 14, 2017, may have alarm sound levels that are distorted, intermittent, or completely inaudible. If the alarm does not sound during a therapy interruption, patients may not be alerted to a loss of respiratory support, which can lead to serious health consequences. Consumers should contact the manufacturer or their healthcare provider to determine if their specific device is affected and to receive further instructions.
The speaker configuration can fail, causing critical safety alarms to be silent or unintelligible. If the device stops delivering oxygen or therapy and the alarm fails to sound, the patient may experience oxygen desaturation (a dangerous drop in blood oxygen levels).
