Philips Respironics has now remediated 98,000 of the 105,000 recalled ventilators registered with it in the United States, leaving roughly 7,000 devices outstanding more than five years after the company first warned that sound-dampening foam inside them could break down. The figures come from the company's own remediation progress update, published in mid-August and reflecting data through August 4, 2026.
The contrast within the same disclosure is what makes this worth attention. Sleep therapy devices, the CPAP and BiPAP machines that drew the bulk of public attention, are effectively finished. Philips reports 2.686 million actionable United States registrations and 2.686 million patients remediated, and 99 percent of actionable sleep therapy registrations completed globally.
