Trilogy Evo O2 Ventilator Recalled for Potential Sudden Loss of Ventilation

Philips Respironics is recalling 789 Trilogy Evo O2 ventilators due to a software defect that can trigger a false power alarm despite sufficient power, potentially causing sudden loss of ventilation in pediatric and adult patients.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I medical device recall for a life-support ventilator. The rubric mandates a minimum Severe rating for Class I recalls. Although no injuries or deaths are reported in the source material, the critical safety risk posed by sudden loss of ventilation in a life-support device justifies the Severe classification.

Plain-English summary

Philips Respironics is recalling the Trilogy Evo O2 ventilator, used by pediatric and adult patients requiring respiratory support. The recall affects 789 units across all software versions except 1.05.06.00, distributed nationwide in the United States and to numerous countries internationally.

A software defect can cause the ventilator to trigger a false Battery Depleted or Loss of Power alarm despite the device having sufficient power. When this false alarm occurs, the ventilator may stop providing ventilation, causing sudden loss of respiratory support to the patient.

Patients and healthcare providers should contact Philips Respironics regarding this recall and for guidance on their devices. Because the Trilogy Evo O2 is essential for patient respiratory function, any concerns should be discussed with the patient's healthcare provider.
