If you or a loved one were injured after being treated with a mechanical ventilator, you may be entitled to compensation from a mechanical ventilator lawsuit case or settlement claim.
A team of medical device injury lawyers and class action attorneys is investigating potential lawsuit and settlement cases of patients injured after being treated with a Philips recalled mechanical ventilator containing polyester-based polyurethane sound reducing foam.
A continuous mechanical ventilator is a device intended to mechanically control or assist patient breathing by delivering a predetermined percentage of oxygen in the breathing gas.
Life-sustaining mechanical ventilators are used in hospitals, intensive care units (ICUs), nursing homes and/or settings involving in-home care to provide patients with mechanical breathing assistance when they cannot sufficiently breathe on their own.
Urgent Medical Device Recall notifications were reportedly sent to customers advising of the ventilator’s sound abatement foam’s susceptibility to degradation and volatile organic compound emission.
