Why it was recalled

Trilogy 100, 200 and 202 units are being recalled due to low impeller press-force used during the manufacturing process. If the press force were low enough, theoretically the impeller could move up the shaft and come into contact with the inside of the blower housing/impeller enclosure. This may impact therapy.
