Respiratory Homecare Solutions Canada Inc.

Respiratory Homecare Solutions Canada Inc. has been informed by medical device manufacturer Philips Respironics™ that some of its devices equipping patients with respiratory diseases treated at home may present a potential safety issue with one of the components (sound abatement foam). Most of the relevant learned medical associations for respiratory diseases, along with health authorities around the world, recommend continuing treatment, regardless of the type of device, and consulting a physician. The Canadian Sleep Society is recommending an individualized decision after discussion with the physician when an alternative device can’t be secured in a timely manner. For the sake of our patients and clients’ safety, we recommend they seek medical advice regarding their treatment continuum.
