# Major Recall Alert: Trilogy EV300 and Trilogy EVO Devices Recalled Due to Non-Pneumatic Nebulizer Usage Risks
Philips Respironics has issued a critical recall affecting the **Trilogy EV300**, **Trilogy EVO**, and **Trilogy EVO O2** platform ventilators. The recall stems from the unsafe use of **non-pneumatic nebulizers**, including vibrating mesh nebulizers (FSN 2025-CC-SRC-020). Furthermore, Philips is updating prior safety notices regarding **nebulized aerosol deposition** affecting the internal flow sensors (FSN 2024-CC-SRC-013). Effective immediately, the company is no longer permitting the use of non-pneumatic nebulizers with any Trilogy EVO ventilators. These updates are necessary to ensure the continued safe and compliant operation of these devices.
## Why This Recall Is Important
This recall highlights a significant safety risk that could compromise the performance of Trilogy ventilators. Non-pneumatic nebulizers, such as vibrating mesh models, generate aerosolized particles that may accumulate within the ventilator’s flow sensors. This deposition could impair sensor function, leading to **inaccurate airflow readings or ventilation delivery issues**. For patients relying on ventilators, such malfunctions pose critical safety risks, including inadequate respiratory support.
Philips Respironics is committed to addressing these risks promptly by prohibiting non-pneumatic nebulizer use in its Trilogy EVO platform devices and by providing updated guidance to customers via Field Safety Notices.
