Thank you for sharing this important - and very well written - article.
Anyone know why Philips kept quiet abut the carcinogenic defect for a decade and announced the problem only after they had a suitable replacement machine?
I need to check with loved ones now. Wow…
It’s always the same awnser, money.
I almost got this machine but I liked the features on the ResMed more and insisted on it instead. Bullet fucking dodged. It’s absolute bullshit that companies can endanger people like this.
I think it’s fucked that people that make these decisions never face consequences for hurting people.
They were given to Active Duty servicemembers, too - not just veterans. It took months to get a replacement device.

Anyone surprised?
Yep, I had one of these and used it for years. Luckily mine started degrading right when Phillips replaced it with the new model.
Has anyone taken a cpap test and found out they don’t need one?
Yes, mostly I just need to manage my allergies.
They said off two nights of data, 1 night was on the threshold and the second night was perfectly normal. And said what/if anything I do was really just up to me. But to try doing whatever I did the second night, and maybe test again later to see if it’s working. I think the difference was sleep orientation
Yes. Mind you, many are screened out with an overnight spO2 exam.
