The recall dates back to 2009.
The reason for the recall is due to a sound abating (noise reducing) foam found in certain devices that may break down and release chemicals into the tubing, which could be inhaled.
The foam can deteriorate and cause harmful effects when cleaned in the wrong way or when exposed to high heat and humidity.
Philips has created a registration process that will allow patients, users, or caregivers to look up their device serial number and begin a claim if the unit is affected. You can look up your device to see if it is on the list and begin the registration process at https://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/e/sleep/communications/src-update.
