Respironics has begun a Class 1 recall of its V60 Non-invasive Ventilator because the pins within the internal cable that connects the ventilator's motor to the control board may become loose over time due to low frequency vibration, an FDA [notice](http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTcwNTIyLjczNjU5MDExJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE3MDUyMi43MzY1OTAxMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NDE3MjQ5JmVtYWlsaWQ9ZGF2aWRAZmRhd2ViLmNvbSZ1c2VyaWQ9ZGF2aWRAZmRhd2ViLmNvb&ref=fdaweb.com) says. The loose pins may prevent data from being transferred between the motor and control board, causing the ventilator to shut down unexpectedly and to sound an alarm. An unexpected stop in ventilation therapy may cause serious adverse health consequences, including death.

The device is intended to provide continuous or intermittent breathing support to pediatric patients weighing at least 44 pounds and to adult patients.
