Why Is There A Recall On CPAP & BiPAP Devices?

Imagine living with a condition that requires you to depend on a device to help you breathe throughout the night… Now imagine that just because you were trying to breathe, you ended up with cancer. Sounds like a nightmare doesn’t it? Sadly, this is an actual reality for many people who have depended on Philips CPAP and BiPAP devices to help them breathe at night. A Houston CPAP and BiPAP Recall lawyer could help you understand the details of this recall.

Important Details About The CPAP & BiPAP Recall & How It May Have Caused Cancer

Philips Respironics has now issued a HUGE recall on their CPAP and BiPAP devices. For those that don’t know, CPAP and BiPAP devices are technically classified as “ventilators” and are used at home by patients who typically suffer from Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and/or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). What ended up happening was that these devices used a polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) as an abatement foam. It turns out that Philips made the recall because, as the foam degrades, the body absorbs tiny little particles by inhalation… which was causing harmful effects to those that were using the devices, with one of the effects being CANCER.

What Is PE-PUR & How Can It Impact Your Health?

Did you know that the foam (PE-PUR) is actually used in a wide array of everyday products, and is used for numerous different reasons as well? One of its purposes is sound proofing rooms. It’s also used by the auto manufacturing industry to decrease road noise for drivers and passengers. The fact that humans breathe this in on a daily basis exposes them to the foam’s damaging consequences. Because the air is pumped via the CPAP or BiPAP device before entering the patient’s airways, any contamination in the air created by the device is inhaled by the individual. The foam degrades over time, and the foam particles break away and enter the airways, according to some complaints. In addition, the foam emits hazardous gases, which are breathed.
