| Issue: | A solder connection on the first generation Power Management printed circuit board assembly ((PCBA) P/N 1055906) of affected Philips V60 ventilators is subject to solder connection failure. This solder joint connects a component (designated as R31) to the PCBA. In the most common failure mode of the solder joint, the failure will cause the blower to lose power, spool down, and trigger a visual and audible High Priority Check Vent alarm to alert clinicians to switch the patient to alternative ventilation. This failure mode is referred to as an open failure. |
