The FDA has received more than 100 reports of deaths associated with popular sleep aid devices many relied on worldwide.
So many sleep apnea patients across the globe relied on the devices covered under the recall that Philips said it did not have enough parts to repair or replace devices immediately, leaving some patients without many options.
Coleman said he’s still waiting on a replacement device, and since learning of the recall, he’s now sleeping without any sleep-aid device after weighing the risks, but he worries for other veterans out there who may not know about the problem. The FDA told NBC 5 Responds it is looking into each report, but felt it was important to share the preliminary findings with the public.
The company said, “Philips regrets any inconveniences caused by this issue and we are committed to supporting the community of patients who rely on our sleep and respiratory care solutions.”Frank Reese is one of millions of sleep apnea patients now concerned for their health after learning of a recall on their Philips CPAP machines.published by the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine last December that found patients using its devices did not have a higher risk of cancer.
The subpoena from the DOJ was “to provide information related to events leading to the Respironics recall,” van Houten said. “The relevant subsidiaries are cooperating with the agency.”
