Event Description

My philips dream station was on the recall list and the replacement unit was received 10/24/22.The unit replacement did not appear to be in as good of condition as the one it was replacing however, i went ahead and set it up according to their directions.On (b)(6) "2022" was the first night using the replacement device and i feel as though i was breathing in particles, unlike anything i have ever experienced with my original device.The expected particles gave me a cough that evening, and i noticed that the machine had a noise that my original machine does not have.Second night usage, the noise was pronounced and kept me awake until i decided to stop using the replacement.I did reach out to philips this morning, they said your agency is aware of their replacements being refurbished units.However, i asked if you were aware of philips replacing these units with products with units that are not equivalent to what a person purchased.I have 3 years before my insurance will pay for another cpap, and this replacement is already unsatisfactory.Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
