Title: Medical Device Safety and Recalls: Respironics California Recalls the V60 Non-invasive Ventilator Due to Faulty Cable Pins That May Cause the Device to Shut Down Unexpectedly

FDA Logo

Respironics is recalling the 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. The loose pins may prevent data to be transferred between the motor and the control board, triggering 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.
