    Reason

    The V60 Ventilator with Version 2.20 software installed may falsely detect that the blower motor has stalled. If this condition occurs, the software will cause the ventilator to shut down (Vent Inop) and display Error Code 100E. Ventilatory support will cease.

    Action

    Philips sent an Urgent- Medical Device Letter dated February 1, 2017, to all affected customers. It will be sent the week of February 6, 2017, to inform customers that Respironics is voluntarily recalling all Philips V60 Non Invasive Ventilators (NIV) that have Version 2.20 Software installed. Customers are informed that the V60 Ventilator with Version 2.20 software installed may falsely detect that the blower motor has stalled. If this condition occurs, the software will cause the ventilator to shut down (Vent Inop) and display Error Code 100E. Ventilatory support will cease. An audible high-priority alarm will sound continuously for at least 2 minutes when the V60 shuts down for any Vent Inop condition and is operating on battery power. If the V60 is connected to AC power (mains supply), the alarm will continue to sound until an operator intervenes. If the V60 is connected to a remote alarm system, the alarm system will be activated until action is taken by the operator. Error Code 100E only exists in V60 Version 2.20 software. Therefore, V60s running Version 2.10 software are not subject to this particular Vent Inop condition.
