Reported risk: Philips has received complaints that the sensor cable for the Philips Respironics CAPNOSTAT 5 mainstream sensor and Respironics LoFlo sidestream sensor may appear kinked or twisted after use. Twisted, coiling and bending of the sensor cables can occur during use, maintenance and storage of the sensors. Such deformation is not itself expected to affect the normal operation of the sensors. However, cables that may have been repeatedly twisted, coiled or bent could cause the sensors to lose functionality and become inoperable.
