Respironics Recall

Dear Patients,

Please see the attached link from Philips Respironics:

This website has been put together by Philips Respironics, one of the manufacturers of CPAP & BiPAP equipment used in our community. This recall was announced on June 14, 2021. Please know that your health and safety is our main priority, as we work through this process.

The recall is for all Philips Respironics CPAP/BiPAP units (excluding the new Dreamstation 2 unit). This includes Dreamstation, Dreamstation Go, Dreamstation ASV/ST/AVAPS,  System One, and Remstar SE Auto CPAP unit. This does not apply to any ResMed CPAP/BiPAP devices.

If you have a Philips Respironics Unit, we recommend that you do the following items immediately:

1. Contact your CPAP supplier to inquire about their replacement policy. They will be working with Respironics on these plans going forward.
2. Register your device at the Phillips Respironics website (link below).  At the bottom of this website, click Patient/Device User/Caregiver, and proceed with the instructions. You can also register your device by calling (877)-907-7508.
3. Please follow manufacturer's cleaning recommendations and discontinue use of any CPAP cleaner (Ozone, UV light, etc).
4. You can contact our office by phone at 341-7575 or directly with your provider on MyChart. Our staff will follow up with you directly to discuss considerations of whether or not you should continue using your current equipment, while awaiting replacement equipment or repair.

• If you are scheduled in the near future for an overnight sleep study at UR Medicine Sleep Center, where we will be using CPAP/BiPAP in our facility, we will be using ResMed devices (not the recalled Respironics devices).

Sincerely,

Your UR Sleep Medicine Team
