FDA says it received more than 21,000 medical device reports (MDRs) from 8/1 to 10/31 associated with PE-PUR foam breakdown in Philips Respironic ventilators, BiPAP machines, and CPAP machines. There were 91 reports of deaths in the latest reports, the agency [says](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/safety-communications/update-certain-philips-respironics-ventilators-bipap-machines-and-cpap-machines-recalled-due?ref=fdaweb.com#mdr).

The FDA notice says the agency’s in-depth review and analysis of the new MDRs will include examining the possible reasons for the increased number of reports. It says a wide range of injuries have been reported with the MDRs, including cancer, pneumonia, asthma, other respiratory problems, infection, headache, cough, dyspnea, dizziness, nodules, and chest pain.
