Respironics FOAMGATE FDA Inspection Report. Keeps Getting Worse

Post by D.H. » Thu Nov 25, 2021 1:06 pm

This is from The Lanky Lefty 27.

He went over stuff already discussed extensively.

He did question the continued viability of Philips/Respironics. I'm kind of wondering about that too. If the replacement machines are also recalled, who would be able to trust anything the company made? Consumers will ask for a different brand next time they replace their machines.

If they agree to aggressive long-term government oversight, that could possibly save them. Since they have such a big market share, they probably won't have to close shop immediately, but they won't be able to continue long-term.

I can see a situation where the American President has to invoke the "Defense Production Act" to force the manufacture of machines to replace the ones still out there.

BTW, I strongly doubt that Philips has made any effort to find unregistered machines by searching for active modems. Doing this might require the cooperation of government and/or private telephone carriers.

Time for a poll?
How many regular forum contributors have totally
washed their hands of these felons?
