People who suffer from apnea can use Dreamstation 2 safely as long as they follow the device’s safety instructions. Philips announced this in response to a warning from the American regulatory authority FDA. If used incorrectly, the device’s humidifier may become very hot.
Several hundred Americans with sleep apnea have complained about a strange odor coming from Philips’ Dreamstation 2 sleep therapy device over the past three months. The American regulatory authority FDA received approximately 270 reports during this period.
Dreamstation is intended for apnea patients to prevent breathing from stopping during sleep. According to the medical device manufacturer, reports indicate that the device was overheating.
Philips said in an emailed statement that the device can be used as usual as long as safety instructions are properly followed. Philips had previously recalled another apnea device, the Dreamstation 1. Patients experienced health problems due to inhalation of loose foam particles.
