Philips Respironics is recalling approximately 93 DreamStation Auto CPAP, DreamStation Auto BiPAP, and DreamStation Auto non-continuous ventilators. These devices may have a programming error that causes them to be configured incorrectly, meaning the machine settings might not match the patient's prescription. This recall affects specific serial numbers for models UDSX500S11F, UDSX700S11F, and UFRX500S14.
An incorrect device configuration could lead to therapy that does not match the patient's intended prescription, potentially resulting in respiratory distress or ineffective treatment of sleep apnea or other breathing conditions.
