Certain serial numbers of the SimplyGo Mini standard battery kit contain a defective chip which can lead the battery to either fail to charge or lose voltage output when in use in the device. If the fault occurs while the device is running on battery power, the SimplyGo Mini will shut down and stop providing oxygen to the user. This may happen at a temperature within the specified operating temperature range of the SimplyGo Mini.

The Trilogy Evo Universal ventilator provides continuous or intermittent positive pressure ventilation for the care of individuals who require mechanical ventilation. Trilogy Evo Universal is intended for pediatric through adult patients weighing at least 2.5 kg. The ventilator can measure, display, record, and alarm SpO2, FiO2, CO2, and pulse rate data when integrated with the appropriate accessories. The ventilator is suitable for use in institutional and hospital settings and non-emergency transport settings; for example, wheelchair. It may be used for both invasive and non-invasive ventilation.

A limited number of remediated Philips DreamStation units may experience communication issues when connecting to the cloud-based care management application. Should this be the case, this may affect the ability to download prescription settings to the device or the device may have incorrect prescription settings for the patient.
The accuracy of delivered oxygen may deviate below the required tolerance of 5% from setpoint when providing high concentration oxygen therapy. Additionally, if equipped, the internal FiO2 sensor may indicate a value higher than the device is actually delivering. This may lead to under delivery of oxygen.

The replacement silicone sound abatement foam installed into some Trilogy 100 and Trilogy 200 devices may separate from the plastic backing to which it is attached. If this were to happen, the foam could potentially block air inlet, which could result in a reduction in delivered therapy volume or pressure and could cause the device to alarm.

In 2018, Philips Respironics added foam replacement to the preventive maintenance schedule for these devices after discovering the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam may degrade into particles. This 2018 correction has been superseded by the device removal and rework described in Philips Respironics 2021 recall action for the same devices.
Philips has identified a specific lot of non-conforming material manufactured by one of its suppliers. A Philips supplier incorrectly used polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam, a non-conforming material in the devices and repair kits. PE-PUR foam may degrade into particles which may enter the device s air pathway and be ingested or inhaled by the user. The foam degradation may be exacerbated by use of unapproved cleaning methods such as unapproved ozone cleaners, and the PE-PUR foam may off-gas certain chemicals during initial use of the device.
