      I am a owner of one of the defective devices that this company had on the market. I returned their defective device and in return I was suppose to receive my class action lawsuit settlement from them for returning this piece of junk back to them. I discovered that settlement checks went out in September of this year and I have NOT received my payment!!! When I contacted the administrative office whose handling their mess, he seems to be an airhead who doesn't know anything unless this is their way of trying not to send out anymore payments.

      In response to the above and attached case, we explained to the patient that the reward payments are part of the Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Agreement which is managed by Angeion the third-party administrator.

      We did receive the patient's recalled device and thanked the patient for returning it.

      We provided contact information for Angeion.

      As part of the recall program for CPAP equipment, I returned 2 separate ************* to the company (****** Respironics). The company issued a refund check #******* for claim #HRPN102234032 on 8/30/2024 for 1 of the machines. Subsequently, the company sent out a second notice for which the **** advised was initially sent on 9/17/2024. However, as I did not receive the notice, I notified ****. To date, I have not received this second notice. I am requesting Philips to re-send this second notice

      Philips has received the above referenced complaint.  
       
      This case has been completed as much as possible.

      We contacted the patient and are waiting to hear back. Our records show one registration which has been completed. We asked the patient to confirm the second device serial number and have not heard back yet. In addition, the patient is inquiring about payments from the Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Agreement which is managed by a third party Administrator. So, if there is a second device serial number, we will refer him to the Administrator for further information.

      Sincerely,

      There was a recall on my Dreamstation CPAP machine in 2022, I added my machine to the list on the Philips website and still have no resolution after 2 years of Philips promising a machine and siting back order and delays on their part. Most of the discussions involved me giving them my information repeatedly because they had clearly lost it or deleted it since the last discussion. The last discussion was Oct 3, 2024 I spoke to *********, where they said I would hear from them with a shipment confirmation in the month of October but nothing. I had also contacted them the following dates:Aug 20, 2024 - spoke to ****** - Promised September delivery Dec 18, 2023 - spoke to ****** - Promised February 2024 Mar 3, 2023 - spoke with Crystal at Coastal Sleep - passed the file to Philips they were no longer handling the recalls Jam 13, 2023 - spoke with ********* at Coastal Sleep - said I would be notified when things were ready to ship

      Philips has been promising a shipment "Next week" for 2 years now so yet another promise does not resolve anything, until I have the machine or a tracking number that the unit has been sent this is not resolved and nothing has changed.

      On August 1st I received confirmation for the Class action settlement on the return of the ***** I was quoted a device payment award of $155.63. Returned the devices via *** Ex tracking number ************, but never received my payment. It has been over 2 months. When I went to the website and entered in the serial number *************, it now comes back as unrecognized. How can I have a Claim number HRPX101175875 and a Confirmation Code M6GTW9auqe6f, Fed Ex Tracking, and now they say the ** does not exist? I want my settlement payment!

      Date: 11/11/2024

      The above referenced complaint has been reviewed and closed. 

      The patient has been contacted and we explained that our records do not show that they registered for the recall with Philips to receive a replacement device and that they can still register for the recall remediation program that is offered by Philips, by visiting the patient portal. We provided a link to the portal and further explained that if the patient registers for the recall, we would be happy to help facilitate getting a replacement device sent to them as soon as possible.

      Regarding the device payment award they are expecting for $155.63, that payment is not from Philips, it is part of the court order related to the Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Agreement which is managed by a third party administrator named Angeion. For information about those payment awards, the patient will need to contact Angeion directly at: www.RespironicsCPAP-****************, or ************.

      In response to the above and attached case, we explained to the patient that the reward payments are part of the Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Agreement which is managed by Angeion the third-party administrator. 

      In addition, we told the patient that their device has not been registered for the recall which may be the reason they have not received a reward payment however they will need to contact Angeion to confirm the requirements.

      We provided contact information for Angeion and a link to the patient portal to register until 12/31/24 because they are still eligible to receive a replacement device.

      Philips had a recall on their CPAP machines and replaced many units. They never sent me any forms nor communicated with me about exchanging my CPAP unit for a new one. Their claim was the old one caused cancer and they would recall and replace the units and I never had them reach out to me to get my replacement.

      Our records do not show a registration for this patient name, mailing address, phone number or email address therefore we are unable to proceed until the patient provides the device serial number to determine if the device has been recalled.

      We have sent the patient three messages - 8/6, 8/12 and 8/24 and have not received any responses. If we do not hear back from the most recent message, we will close this case as "no response".

      I'm trying to get money for returning my CPAC machine, they sent a check out on 3/27/24 to the old address, it was never found. Early on I had given them my new address 3 times, whenever I call I ask them to repeat my address to me, they repeat the new address, but sent check to old address. So they are to issue a new check but I can't now get anyone to move their behind, it's always a different story time 2month..I give them all the information they need and everyone say something different. I am so tired of the mess, these folks working from home not doing their job. It crazy to have to deal with this. This is the 2nd complaint I'm putting in with you within a week, I can't do anything, you call they say something different, 7 to 10, now it's 6 to 10 weeks, and they don't have 2nd device I sent out. Maybe they'll give the same information which makes no sense.

      i have received 1 check on August 18th for $50.00, they still owe for 2 others. Makes no sense to send a check for just 1 when I'm owed for 3 which I forgot about 1 in all my corresponding to them but I was told I returned 3 device which qualify.  If I say I agree then they will/would not send the other two.

      And I want the reward money in the amount of $100.00 for each of the machine, these folks cause me harm, they said they would pay, I didn't ask them, now I am.

      This case has been responded to and closed again. We confirmed with the patient that all three of her devices have been received which is also reflected in the patient portal and will be provided to the Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Agreement Administrator, Angeion.

      The compensation she is referencing is through the Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Agreement that is being completely managed by a third party administrator by the name of Angeion.

      For updates regarding those payments, we instructed her again to contact Angeion directly at either ************************************, or 855-912-3432. The related payments, from what we understand, are scheduled to begin in September or later however Angeion can confirm the timing.

      There is no further action for the patient to take. The next step is for her to receive the additional payments from Angeion which are expected to be issued in September, or later.

      Philips has a recall for CPAP machines. July 2023 they asked me to mail back my CPAP device back in order to get a $900 check. I mailed the device but have yet to receive my check. They mailed a check but it was lost in November 2023. I have filed multiple requests for a new check. However, they cannot provide information or a person to speak to. They claim there is no number for the department and I have been promised the check for 8 months but have yet to receive it.
