ST. LOUIS (June 22, 2021)—Responsive Respiratory, Inc. is aware of Philips Respironics recall of a number of CPAP, BiPAP and ventilator devices utilizing PE‐PUR foam for sound abatement in their construction. As noted in Philips Respironics communication, the off gassing and degradation of the PE‐PUR foam may be present from the outset of the use of its products and that humidity and high heat environments may also contribute further to its breakdown.
This recall does not correlate to RRI’s family of Purify O3 devices. It is important to note that Purify O3 and Purify O3 Elite do not connect directly to, and do not circulate ozone through CPAP/BiPAP machines. Purify O3 and Purify O3 Elite are designed for disinfection and deodorizing purposes of accessory items—including masks, tubing and humidification chambers, and are not indicated or recommended for use with CPAP/BiPAP machines.
More information on recommended use of the Purify O3 family of devices can be found on the Purify O3 website at purifyo3.com.
