CPAP and BiPAP Sleep Apnea Machines

A Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine is commonly prescribed to treat sleep apnea disorders. The machine sends a steady flow of oxygen into the mouth and nose while someone sleeps. In addition to CPAP devices, other breathing machines include APAP and BiPAP devices. They are all designed to help someone breath normally during sleep.

Diamond~Massong is investigating injury claims related to the use of Philips CPAP sleep apnea machines. In June 2021, Philips Respironics issued a recall for its CPAP and BiPAP machines, as well as for its mechanical ventilator devices, because of potential health risks due to the inhalation or injection of foam particles when the sound-reducing polyurethane foam liner degrades into particles. Philips estimates that 3 to 4 million devices may be affected, most of which are first-generation DreamStation products sold before April 2021.

Inhaling or swallowing the polyurethane foam particles can lead to serious, even life-threatening, injuries. If you or a loved one used a Philips sleep apnea machine for 6 months or longer and have been diagnosed with a serious medical condition, including lung disease/damage, liver disease/damage, kidney disease/damage, or cancer, please contact Diamond~Massong for a free consultation.

““I am so grateful to Maria for the superior work she did representing my husband and me in our medical malpractice case. Not only was she extremely competent as our attorney, she amazed us with her ability to keep a cool head during intense depositions by opposing counsel. Maria’s excellent negotiation skills enabled us to settle our case before going to trial. And her knowledge and skills made a difficult and emotional process much easier to handle. Maria was supportive every step of the way, and for that we are truly grateful. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to family and friends.” Karen and George Sickel
