Is the Philips EverFlo Q Oxygen Concentrator recalled by Philips?
News about millions of CPAP, BiPAP and ventilator devices being recalled took the sleep apnea world by a storm, after Philips announced that the majority of their respiratory devices have been found to contain a potentially toxic ingredient. Until the potential health hazard for the users has been resolved, Philips is to withdraw every affected unit from the market, while patients are to contact their doctors and discuss an immediate replacement.
If you want to read more about the news, you can do so here, but today we will answer another important question regarding another bestselling Philips respiratory equipment that is being used by millions of patients worldwide – the Philips Respiraonic EverFlo Q and the EverFlo Oxygen Concentrators. The EverFlo Q is a home oxygen system that has become extremely popular not only in Europe and the US, but also in Asian countries, like India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Nepal, where the third COVID-19 wave infected millions of people.
If you are using a Philips Respironics EverFlo Oxygen Conncetrator 5 LPM at home, then you might have already heard the bad news about the mass recall and now are asking yourself whether the EverFlo is also affected by the recall. This is something you should definitely worry as the toxic material found in some of the most popular CPAP machines and ventilators by Philips is considered potentially toxic to the respiratory system.
So far Philips has not received proof that the problematic polyurethane foam — which, over time, degrades and enters the lungs of the user — has caused cancer to consumers, but the news of the recall — and the reason behind it it — has caused serious concerns among patients using the affected respiratory products by Philips.
Are oxygen concentrators made by Philips recalled?
No. So far only Philips CPAP, BiPAP and ventilators have been recalled due to the health-hazardous material used in their inner sound-suppressing materials. The oxygen concentrator line by Philips Respironics (including the popular EverFlo and EverFlo Q models) do not use the same toxic-upon-degradation material.

Is the Philips EverFlo Q oxygen concentrator recalled?

Which Philips CPAP machines are being recalled?
The Philips recall affected the most popular Philips CPAP machines, like the DreamStation and the System ONE, which have been used by millions of sleep apnea patients over the globe. See all of the recalled units here.
