Philips Says Test Results Show Recalled Sleep Devices Unlikely To Cause Harm

  • Koninklijke Philips NV PHG released an update on a comprehensive test and research program related to the recalled respiratory devices
  • The company says the risk assessments are completed for 95% of the first-generation DreamStation, System One, and DreamStation Go devices. 
  • The medical device maker said the latest tests indicated that potential patient exposure to foam particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the PE-PUR foam within these devices is "unlikely to result in an appreciable harm to health in patients."
  • The test and research program has been conducted with five independent, certified testing laboratories. The results have been reviewed and assessed by third-party qualified experts, Philips Respironics, and an external medical panel.
