Philips Respironics Recall
In mid-2021, Philips Respironics issued a recall for certain CPAP, BiPAP
and Mechanical Ventilator devices. They recommend visiting their website
on the link below to verify if your machine is affected. If your device has
been affected, they will ask you to register so they can begin the
replacement process. This process is currently taking 4-6 months. In the
meantime, we recommend calling our office immediately to discuss other
options until your device is replaced.

For many people, breathing easily is something they take for granted — until it becomes difficult. In our busy modern lives, symptoms like wheezing or shortness of breath are often dismissed as minor annoyances, especially if they come and go.
Sleep apnea is a condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. This most common type is obstructive sleep apnea, which occurs when the muscles in your throat relax too much, blocking the airway.
