Philips Trilogy Evo ventilators recalled for tidal volume risk

Philips Respironics has recalled Trilogy Evo Universal ventilators (software version 1.05.15.00) because using certain non-pneumatic nebulizers with these machines may cause a mismatch between the breathing volume set by your doctor and the volume your lungs actually receive. This could affect the effectiveness of your ventilation therapy.

  2. Ask your doctor or respiratory therapist which nebulizers are safe to use with your ventilator
