Philips Respironics is recalling 15 V60 and V60 Plus Ventilators because the internal Power Management Printed Circuit Board Assemblies (PCBAs) may malfunction. This defect can lead to a sudden power failure and a complete loss of ventilator function, which is critical for patients requiring respiratory support. The recall affects 14 units in the United States and one in the Philippines. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer immediately for guidance on these specific devices.
A malfunction in the power management circuit board can cause the ventilator to stop working entirely without warning. If the device fails, a patient may not receive necessary oxygen or breathing assistance, which could lead to serious adverse health consequences or death.
