The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a notice warning that medical ventilators made by Philips Respironics are still under a Class I recall due to the potential for serious injury or death.

The agency noted that the recall notice for the company’s V30, A30, and A40 ventilators, which are used for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), primarily “involves correcting devices and does not involve removing them from where they are used or sold.”
