Voluntary recall of Philips Respironics CPAP machine, BiPAP machine, and ventilators

Beginning January 1, 2024, Empire became Anthem. This article, published under the former brand, now applies to Anthem.

On June 14, 2021, Philips Respironics* issued a voluntary recall on specific brands of their continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines, bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) machines, and ventilators. Philips Respironics has established a registration process that allows patients, users or caregivers to look up their device’s serial number and initiate a claim if their unit is affected. 


Use the following link to view the recall information and register your device: usa.philips.com/healthcare/e/sleep/communications/src-update.


Members may also call Philips Respironics at 877-907-7508 with questions. We highly recommend that devices be registered to appropriately identify all recalled units and so that impacted patients, users and caregivers receive the most up to date information from Philips Respironics.
