Philips investigates reports of 1 death, 4 injuries potentially tied to ventilator recall

Philips is investigating a possible link between the company's recent recall of ventilators and one patient death and four reports of patient harm.

The Food and Drug Administration earlier this week in its database flagged the Class I recall related to an electrical circuit fault in all models of the Philips Respironics V60 ventilator that can cause the breathing devices to stop working.
