The manufacturer was contacted in reference to the voluntary field safety notice/recall notification related to the sound abatement foam in certain cpap, bipap, and mechanical ventilator devices.A bipap s/t c series device was returned to a third-party service center with no initial alleged complaint.During the evaluation of the device, the service technician observed visible foam particles inside the blower kit and a blower foam degradation.Additionally, the service technician also noted dust fail contamination, and the evaluation of the device data identified unrelated error codes.These error codes are consistent with normal device operation and expected use conditions and are not considered reportable under medical device reporting requirements.No evidence was identified to suggest that these error codes contributed to or caused the reported event.The device unit is functional.For more information, see the attachment.The device was scrapped by the service center after the evaluation was completed.
