Philips Respironics has recalled its V60 and V60 Plus ventilators that provide High Flow Therapy (software version 3.00 and software version 3.10), due to a risk to the patients if the system pressure reaches the default maximum limit. “This can occur if the oxygen flow is partially blocked for any reason,” a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/philips-respironics-recalls-v60-and-v60-plus-ventilators-equipped-high-flow-therapy-software?ref=fdaweb.com) says. “If the issue causing maximum system pressure is not resolved by the health care provider, the ventilator will continue to provide the patient with lower oxygen flow rate and issue a low priority alarm. This could lead to serious adverse events, including death.” FDA says there have been 61 incidents, 25 injuries, and no reported deaths related to the issue.
