We are committed to maintaining and enhancing our processes that set and manage the quality of product components, systems and, ultimately, our finished products. We have expanded the number of testing labs we partner with to check and test our product components. Results are assessed by third-party qualified experts focused on quality and safety. This extra validation provides you with assurance that we are providing a consistent, quality experience to your patients so they can feel confident in the care they’re receiving.

Philips Respironics remain dedicated to finding new ways to advance sleep apnea treatment and respiratory care for you and your patients.

We innovate with purpose, connecting people, technology and data-driven insights

 

Philips Respironics’ history in leading sleep and respiratory care innovations spans decades, starting with the introduction of the first commercial CPAP machine to treat sleep apnea in 1985. Three years later, we patented bi-level positive airway pressure (PAP/BiPAP machine) technology and brought non-invasive ventilation to the market for both hospital and home. To support patient adherence, we led software innovations that enable clinicians to remotely monitor patient therapy compliance, while setting new standards with innovative masks like DreamWear to help patients sleep more comfortably.

We are continuously searching for new ways to improve care, with a focus on:

  • Delivering positive health outcomes
  • Helping to lower the cost of care

  • Improving the patient experience
  • Improving the healthcare provider experience

What matters most to Tim

Grandfather and sports fan living with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

I have grandchildren. I have energy to play and have more fun with them. I can work out and do more things.

Every morning when I wake up, I think how lucky I am to have my faith and to be surrounded by the people I love. My wife, my daughters and my grandkids. They mean the world to me.

 

My health is important, too. I’ve always worked out. Even have my own gym in the basement. When my daughters were teenagers, I helped them train. It was a great bonding experience.

So, when I was hit by Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), it affected us all. I was tired all day. Obviously when you're not in your best mood, you're not that much fun to be around. If they wanted to go for a hike, or to the park and play, and I was too tired, it took the joy out of it for them.

OSA also impacted my hobby as a consultant analyst for the local football team. To help them stay on top of their game, I have to be at my best, but without sleep that’s not so easy.

Having an OSA device fitted was the answer. It changed everything. I was no longer tired during the day and my moods improved. I was able to enjoy more family time, especially with my grandkids. We have so much fun together.

What matters now is to stay strong for my family. I work out every day. And now my little three-year-old granddaughter joins in doing yoga with my daughter. She’s got more energy than all of us put together."

What matters most to Alex

Drummer and editor living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

I hope to be able to get enough stamina and find a bunch of people who want to play music. I don't want to be in a famous band. I just want to be able to get together a couple of times a week and play for a couple of hours.

I probably shouldn’t be here. About 14 years ago, I woke up one Sunday morning and couldn’t draw breath. It was scary. I literally couldn’t get anything into my lungs. I thought it was all over. I ended up in hospital for a week and was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

 

It gave me plenty of time to reflect on my life. All the different jobs I’ve done, how lucky I was to meet my wife when I was a cab driver and my time as a session drummer playing with some of the biggest names in rock ‘n’ roll.

 

Today, I carry more than memories around with me. I also have my oxygen tanks. I need four tanks a day. Plus my nebulizer and other bits. Together with pulmonary rehab three times a week, these are what help to keep me going.

 

I have more stamina. I can walk further without having to stop and sit. I can lift things and even clean the cat litter box. They’re little things, but they matter to me.

 

Books matter, too. They’ve always been my escape from COPD. I’ve read about 4,000. I proofread and edit books for authors who are starting out. I like to support others where I can. Which brings me back to drumming.

 

Not many people can say they got to jam with Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. But I can. As long as I have the strength and energy to swing my sticks, I’ll keep playing. So if anyone out there is looking for a seasoned drummer, you know where to find me."

What matters most to Kathie

Grandmother, friend and traveler living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

What matters most to me is making memories with my family and my friends, no matter where they are.

 If ten years ago someone told me I’d be visiting the Grand Canyon, I wouldn’t have believed them. Going anywhere of any distance wasn’t an option. I was a smoker from an early age. I must have been 13 when I had my first cigarette. I didn’t think too much about it back then, everyone was doing it. But these things have a way of coming back to bite you.

 

I struggled to do things. I couldn’t get my breath. Even vacuuming was a problem. At first the doctor thought it was asthma. But it turned out to be Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). I thought, well this is it. This is how my life was going to be.

 

Having oxygen was literally a breath of fresh air. I was able to do things again. Be more mobile. I could go over to my best friend Linda’s house for a sleepover and not have to worry about my medicine because I had my portable device.

 

Also, I have two grown up boys and grandchildren who all live in Arizona, and now I had the freedom to visit them more often.

 

We drove out to the Painted Dessert together, and that’s when I knew I should travel more. When you get to my age, it’s not material things that matter, it’s experiences. Making more memories with the people who matter to you.

 

When I think how I struggled walking up a flight of stairs a few years back, I’ve come a long way. I really do feel on top of the world."
