Recall: S8 flow generator (CPAP) devices.

As you may know, ResMed has initiated a recall on certain S8 flow generator (CPAP) devices. For the recalled devices, the power supply connection may be susceptible to fatigue and failure. 

In the majority of cases of reported failure, the device has simply stopped operation. There have been a limited number of instances where the device failure caused thermal damage to the device, with remote potential to ignite material external to the device. While the risk of property damage or patient injury from electrical failure is remote, ResMed, the manufacturer has implemented a program to replace the affected S8 devices. 

To find out if your flow generator (CPAP) has been recalled, please enter the eleven (11) digit serial number below. (If you do not know your serial number, it may be located on the bottom of your unit. Simply turn your device over. However, please disconnect your humidifier first, if you have one.)
