To implement the permanent corrective action, where possible, Philips will be contacting affected patients and customers with the relevant information on the next steps below:

Following consultation with the TGA, the advice to patients and customers is to take the following actions:

For patients using BiLevel PAP and CPAP devices: 

  • Stopping treatment suddenly could have an immediate and detrimental effect on patient health. Please contact and make an appointment with your physician or care provider before making any changes to your prescribed therapy. While the risks identified have resulted in Philips recommending discontinued use, it is important that you consult with your physician to determine the most appropriate options for continued treatment. Together with your physician, determine if the benefit of continuing therapy with your device outweighs the risks identified and discuss alternative long term therapy options.

What you need to do next

Philips has established a registration process that allows Patients, Users, or Caregivers​ to look up their device serial number and begin a registration if their unit is affected.

This registration is necessary so that the next step in the TGA approved process can be implemented.

You will need to enter your device serial number to begin the registration process.

You can locate your device serial number on the bottom of your machine (see picture below).

IMPORTANT: If a humidifier was included with your sleep therapy device, be sure to remove the water chamber before you proceed.

The serial number is located on the bottom of your device and it begins with "P" or "J" and contains 13 characters or begins with "D" and contains 14 characters.
