ResMed, one of the leading manufacturers of equipment used to treat sleep apnea, has issued a worldwide recall for more than one-quarter of a million CPAP machines due to a potential risk with the power supply connector that may end up costing the company an estimated $210 million to correct.
In a press release, the company indicated that specific S8 devices manufactured between July 2004 and May 15, 2006, risk a potential short circuit in the power supply connector.
