FDA says that Philips Respironics is updating instructions for using its OmniLab Advanced+ ventilator due to interruptions and/or loss of therapy. An agency [notice](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/continuous-ventilator-correction-philips-respironics-inc-updates-use-instructions-omnilab-advanced?ref=fdaweb.com) says it considers this latest Philips correction a Class 1 recall.

According to the notice, Philips issued an urgent recall notice for all affected customers on 4/1\. The company notice said the updated instructions were due to a failure in the ventilator alarm system that could cause therapy interruption or loss. Philips said it would correct the affected units through a software patch and could offer a replacement device until the affected devices are corrected, FDA says.
