Philips Respironics Trilogy EV300 recalled for tidal volume risk

Philips Respironics has recalled Trilogy EV300 ventilators (software version 1.05.15.00) because using them with certain types of nebulizers can cause the device to deliver a different amount of air to the patient than what was set. This mismatch between the intended and actual breath volume could affect patient safety.
