In re Philips Recalled CPAP, Bi-Level PAP, and Mechanical Ventilator Products Liability Litigation (MDL 3014)

This is the Preservation Registry website for MDL 3014, In re Philips Recalled CPAP, Bi-Level PAP, and Mechanical Ventilator Products Liability Litigation.

The parties in this case stipulated to, and the Court entered, a Preservation Order that requires Philips RS to create this Preservation Registry.

This Preservation Registry may be used to request preservation of any CPAP, BiPAP, or mechanical ventilator devices subject to Philips RS’s recall announced June 14, 2021 (“Recalled Devices”).  A list of Recalled Devices is available at https://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/e/sleep/communications/src-update/information-for-patients-and-caregivers#affected_devices.

Who Should Use This Registry:

• Owners or users of any Recalled Device who would like to have Philips RS preserve their Recalled Device if you have filed a lawsuit or may file a lawsuit in the future; or

• Owners or users of any Recalled Device who will self-preserve their Recalled Device for purposes of a lawsuit.

NOTE: This registry’s purpose is to provide users the option of requesting preservation of their Recalled Device for purposes of a lawsuit.  Participation in the Preservation Registry is not a request for Philips RS take any other action except preserving the Recalled Device.  Participation in the Preservation Registry does not determine whether or when a replacement device will be provided to a user pursuant to the recall. A user must still request a replacement device from Philips RS through its recall and remediation process.

To request a replacement device as part of a Philips Recall Program, you must register separately through Philips RS’s recall registration website:

https://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/e/sleep/communications/src-update.

Participation in the Preservation Registry is optional. If you do not participate in the Preservation Registry, your returned device may be modified or discarded by Philips RS.
