What is the DreamStation?

DreamStation CPAP Machines send a constant flow of air pressure into the throat and lungs, which helps keep the patient’s airway open when they are sleeping. This effectively prevents the patient from pausing their breathing due to obstructive sleep apnea.

Philips DreamStation Recall

In July 2021, the FDA and Philips Respironics recalled certain DreamStation Machines due to serious health risks, including cancer and lung damage associated with the breakdown of sound-abatement foam.

How Many People Have Been Injured?

The recalled breathing machines have been linked to more than 1,200 complaints and more than 100 injuries, according to the FDA.

Was My DreamStation Recalled?

The recall involves all DreamStation breathing machines that were manufactured before April 26, 2021, including continuous and non-continuous DreamStation ventilators, which are used by millions of patients with obstructive sleep apnea and other breathing disorders.

The DreamStation recall involves the following non-continuous ventilators:

DreamStation 1
DreamStation Go CPAP
DreamStation GO APAP
DreamStation Auto CPAP
DreamStation BiPAP

Philips also recalled the following DreamStation continuous ventilators (non-life supporting devices):

DreamStation ASV
DreamStation ST
DreamStation AVAPS

Toxic Foam Linked to Lung Injuries & Cancer

The recalled DreamStation machines were designed with a type of foam in the same tube that carries the air that a user breathes. The problem is that this foam — called polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) — is also extremely toxic. It can break down into tiny particles of foam, which are then swallowed or inhaled by a person using the DreamStation machine. PE-PUR foam can also release toxic gases.

What is the Risk?

Cancer
Coughing
Breathing problems
Irritation (skin, eye, lungs, nose, and throat)
Sinus infections
Inflammation
Headache
Asthma
Hypersensitivity
Nausea/vomiting
Organ damage (e.g., kidneys and liver)
Liver failure
Kidney failure
Toxic carcinogenic effects
And more
