Our sleep apnea devices safe for use in India: Philips
Business Standard|May 03, 2024
Dutch healthcare company Philips says it has completed remediation of its faulty sleep therapy devices in India, asserting that based on the current testing, their continued use is not expected to cause any "appreciable" health harm.

The company has faced scrutiny after certain models of Bi-Level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) machines were found to have issues with foam degradation, leading to breathing issues and health risks for its users.

ВІРАР Continuous posiand tive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy devices are used to treat sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts.

In its response, Philips in June 2021 issued a field safety notice regarding CPAP and BiPAP devices, citing concerns over the degradation of the sound abatement foam, which led to the release of particles and chemicals into the air pathway.

This was done after users reported symptoms like headache and sinus infection, likely due to exposure to black debris and emitted chemicals.
