Some Phillips Respironics Ventilators, CPAP And BiPAP Machines Recalled Due To Risk From Foam
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration March 10, 2022, issued a notification order to Philips Respironics requiring the company to notify patients and others of the company’s June 14, 2021, recall of certain Philips Respironics ventilators, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) machines, and the unreasonable risk of substantial harm to the public health posed by the degradation of the polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) sound abatement foam used in those products. The FDA has determined that this order is necessary to eliminate the unreasonable risk of harm posed by the recalled products, because the company’s notification efforts to date have been inadequate.
“The FDA has heard the frustration expressed by patients and durable medical equipment suppliers who are unaware of the recall and have received insufficient information on their next steps regarding the recall process,” said Jeff Shuren, M.D., J.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health. “Taking this action today enables the FDA to mandate that Philips Respironics improve its communication about the recall and the serious risk posed by the foam used in the recalled products with patients and the public and to ensure that individuals who rely on these essential devices are receiving the important information they need from the company.”

The FDA is ordering Philips Respironics to notify all device users, durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers, distributors, retailers, and health care providers who prescribe the products about the recall and the health risks posed by the foam used in the recalled products. The order also directs Philips to maintain language to patients regarding the risk of using ozone cleaners on the recalled devices on their main webpage for the recall, and to provide instructions for device users to register their devices on the Philips website.
Along with these actions, the FDA recommends additional measures Philips can take to better communicate with the public regarding the recall. Specifically, the FDA recommends that Philips provide monthly updates to device users who register their devices on the Philips website that include information on expected time for replacement and current rate of replacement of recalled devices. The FDA also recommends that Philips provide detailed information to device users, DME suppliers, distributors, retailers, and healthcare providers on the replacement process.
In June 2021, Philips Respironics initiated a recall of certain ventilators, CPAP and BiPAP machines due to potential health risks related to PE-PUR sound abatement foam used in those devices. This particular foam may break down and can result in serious injury, which can be life-threatening, cause permanent impairment and/or require medical intervention to prevent permanent injury to users.
Since the initiation of the recall, the FDA has engaged with Philips on several fronts about the effectiveness of its communications with the public regarding the recall and the risks presented by the recalled products and has expressed concern that it is likely a significant portion of patients and consumers using the recalled products are unaware of the health risks presented by those products.
The FDA is issuing this order under section 518(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Under this authority, the FDA may order a manufacturer to provide notification if the FDA determines that a device presents an “unreasonable risk of substantial harm to the public health” and such notification is necessary to “eliminate the unreasonable risk of such harm and no more practical means are available [under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act] to eliminate such risk.” The FDA may order that adequate notification be provided to device users, health care providers who prescribe or use the device, and any other person who should receive notification to eliminate such risk.
The order directs Philips to provide the notification described in the order within 45 days of its issuance.
Sulphur Springs ISD Launches Bond Website With Information On $93 Million Bond Election
Sulphur Springs ISD Superintendent, in a letter Friday to the citizens of Sulphur Springs ISD, not only gave a basic rundown of the $93 million school bond election being held May 7, but to encourage voters to visit the bond website set up specifically to provide information about the proposed bond.
Voters can visit SulphurSpringsISDBond.com which not only gives a brief outline of the planned use for the funding, but a brief explanation about the process a planning group, called the SSISD Long Range Planning Committee at the time and referred to currently as the Bond Planning Committee, used to form the $93 million worth of recommendations presented to the school board on Feb. 7, 2022. The SSISD Board of Trustees on Feb. 14, 2022, then, called for the $93 million bond election on May 7, 2022, which would fund the committee’s recommendations if voters approve it.
The bond website includes information and charts showing the impact an 8.5-cent tax increase, recommended by a financial advisor to be for the bond would have on average homeowners’ SSISD ad valorem tax bill, what it would mean for senior citizens who receive a homestead exemption, how to register to vote by the April 7 deadline, early and election day voting information, even a chart showing the age of each of the district’s campuses, and what the district anticipates happening if the bond doesn’t pass.
After researching the bond, Lamb encourages every voter within Sulphur Springs ISD to vote either for or against the $93 million bond, which would require at least two sets of bonds to be sold. One would include the construction of a new Travis school campus as well as renovations at most other campuses, as well as a new Career and Technology Center and fine arts additions at high school, and roofing and HVAC improvements district wide. The other would be a separate bond sale which would be financed over the course of 5-10 years to fund purchases of 20 additional school buses, the bond website notes.
“We are asking every citizen to be educated about the bond. It is important to have your voice heard during this election. Remind your friends, neighbors, and relatives to get involved and ask questions. Sulphur Springs ISD residents will have the opportunity to vote on the Bond Referendum beginning with early voting April 25 – May 3, and on Election Day, May 7, 2022,” Lamb stated in the letter to SSISD citizens.
Lamb concluded by asking people to visit the Sulphur Springs ISD bond website, SulphurSpringsISDBond.com, for more information, or to “reach out to me personally with any questions at [email protected].”

Grand Opening Of Fitness Court In Pacific Park Will Be March 25
The official grand opening of the newest quality of life addition at Pacific Park, a sleek, modern outdoor Fitness Court® with a supporting mobile app, has officially been rescheduled for March 25.
The City of Sulphur Springs had planned to hold the opening on Friday, March 11, but due to predictions of cold and rain, city officials made the decision to postpone the unveiling. After confirming with all partners involved, the grand opening is now slated to be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday, March 25, according to Sulphur Springs Assistant City Manager/Community Development Director Tory Niewiadomski. In the mean time, community members should free to explore and utilize the new Fitness Court located at Pacific Park.
The capital project is a featured part of an initiative launched by National Fitness Campaign (NFC), a nationwide consulting organization that partners with cities and schools to plan, build and fund healthy infrastructure.
In 2021, the City of Sulphur Springs was one of the recipients from around the country awarded a $25,000 grant from NFC to help support the program. In addition to grant funding, a city match and local partnerships from Saputo and CHRISTUS Mother Francis Hospital contributed to make the project possible in Sulphur Springs.
The new Fitness Court® at Pacific Park is an open-air wellness center that allows users to leverage their own body weight to get a complete workout. Created with adults of all ages in mind, the Fitness Court is adaptable for all fitness levels. New users can also download the free Fitness Court App — a coach-in-your-pocket style platform — that transforms the outdoor gym into a digitally supported wellness ecosystem. The Fitness Court App, entitled “Fitness Court”, is available for iOS and Android.
National Fitness Campaign developed the trademarked seven-station system in 2012 hoping to inspire municipalities to transform public spaces into community fitness hubs. There are currently 150+ active Fitness Court® locations across the country, and the Campaign will reach a total of 250 cities and schools by the end of 2022.
The Fitness Court is one of several improvements and upgrades planned at Pacific Park. The first was construction of a new HW Grays Community Building, with new sidewalk and parking around it. New playground equipment, improved drainage and a new basketball pavilion are among the improvements identified by the community and being funded in part by grant funding and a bond taken out by the city, which will be paid back using EDC funding.
Residents are invited to attend an Opening Day Launch Event on March 25 at 10:30 a.m. to try the Fitness Court® and learn about upcoming community wellness events and programming. For more information, visit or contact Tory Niewiadomski at 903-885-7541.
Technology Updates Approved For SSISD: New Laptops For Staff & High School Students
Elementary, Primary and Early Childhood Campuses To Receive New Interactive Touch Panels
Sulphur Springs ISD Board of Trustees this week approved three different technology purchases which will benefit students and staff. New laptops are being ordered for use by Sulphur Springs High School students and school employees, and new interactive touch panels are being ordered for elementary, primary and early childhood campuses.
New Laptops For SSHS
District Technology Coordinator Rodney White reminded the trustees that the school-provided Dell laptops the high school students are using were obtained on a three-year lease agreement which expires at the end of the school year so they are due to go back this year when school’s out.
The district went out for bids for a minimum of 1,350 laptops, receiving eight. The lowest bid of $588,154.50 was submitted by CDW-G, and the highest bid of $1,094,850 by Howard Technology Solutions. Additional bids includes $668,250 from CPI, $699,475.50 by Dell, $699,651 by HPI International, $706,644 by Riverside Technologies, $818,100 by Xerox, and $1,048,342.50 by Zones.
White recommended accepting the low bid from CDW-G for 11.6-inch Lenovo laptops. However, at a rate of $435.67 per laptop, but instead of purchasing $1,350 he recommended purchasing $1,425 laptops at a total cost of $620,829.75. This would continue the district’s one-to-one program to put one e-device in every students’ hand for school work.
The laptops would be purchased using Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funding awarded to the district instead of leasing them.
SSISD applied in 2021 for its allocation, $7,984,629, of the $11.2 billion appropriated to the State of Texas for public education purposes under the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act through the ESSER III Fund.
Funds may be spent for costs incurred March 13, 2020 – Sept. 30, 2024. Technology is among the approved uses for the funding.
Board Vice president Craig Roberts made a motion at the March 7, 2022, SSISD board meeting to approve the purchase of 1,425 Lenovo 11.6-inch laptops at a cost of $436.67 or $620,829.75 total from CDW-G for SSHS student use, with the total to be paid for using ESSER funding. Trustee John Prickette seconded the motion, which was approved on a 6-0, with board member Kerry Wright abstaining from voting.
New Laptops For Teachers, Staff
White also noted that the school laptops in use by teachers, administrators and other professional employees are also on a three-year least agreement that expires in September and will have to go back to Lenovo at that time.
He noted the district received 11 bids from nine different vendors in response to the district’s advertisement for competitive bids for a minimum of 500 new laptops for these district employees; two companies submitted two bids each. The low bid of $374,000 was submitted by Dell and the high bid of $571,000 by Howard Technology Solutions. Additional bids were $500,415 from Zones, $424,210 for Lenovo and $446,260 for Dell laptops from Xerox; $479,200 from HPI International; $403,225 from Troxell Communications, $423,500 from CPI, $376,745 for one type of laptop and $506,095 for another from CDW-G; and $18,500 from Arey Jones Educational Solutions.
White said the low bid from Dell was for 500 laptops at a rate of $748 per device. The technology coordinator recommended purchasing a total of 525 laptops from Dell, for a total cost of $392,700. ESSER funds, White noted, would be used to purchase the Dell laptops for teachers, administrators and professional employee use.
He noted that this would provide enough laptops to issue new ones to all employees in professional positions from the superintendent on down. He said the technology department take pride in letting district staff know they are using the same type of laptop that Michael Lamb is using.
By approving the purchase in March, the district should be able to get the laptops ordered, in and ready for use when they return for the 2022-2023 school year.
Prickette asked if the payments for any of the technology purchases would overlap. Whites noted that could be a possibility but laptops are being purchased with ESSER funds, not tax dollars. The district cannot afford to wait until the current device leases are up to purchase new ones. The goal is to hand out the new devices in August, set up ready to go.
Trustee Leesa Toliver made the motion approving purchase of 525 laptops from Dell at a rate of $748 per laptop, for a total cost of $392,700. Trustee Robbin Vaughn seconded the motion, which then was approved by trustees on a 6-0, with Wright again abstaining from voting.
Interactive Touch Panels
SSISD also sought bids for 120 new interactive touch panels to replace existing Promethean board at the elementary, primary and early childhood campuses. The majority of existing boards were purchased during the 2009-2010 school year and are starting to reach end of life, White explained.
Five companies bid on the devices. The low bid of $415,932 was submitted by Master AV. The high bid of $515,627.86 was submitted by Xerox Business Solutions. The low bid was for a Galaxy Next G2 panel. White said district staff was not familiar with that type of panel, and were unable to find any other schools in Texas that are using a Galaxy Next G2. Thus, White explained, district staff did not feel comfortable recommending that bid.
The next two lowest bids were for New Line panels from CNC at cost of $459,821.77 and Promethean panels from CPI for $460,470. The Newline panel comes with management software for the life of the board. The Promethean panel comes with management software for five years, then would cost $35 per panel per year for a total cost of $4,200 per year.
While the Newline and Promethean panels were both determined following thorough side-by-side comparisons by SSISD instructional technology staff and teachers to be excellent products, the consensus of district staff was that the Newline panel was the best option, White noted. Thus, he recommended the trustees accept the proposal from CNC to provide 120 new Newline interactive panels at a total cost of $459,821.77.
Trustees agreed with the recommendation for CNC to provide the new panels for the EC, primary and elementary campuses on a 5-0 vote, with Board Secretary Jason Dietze and trustee Robbin Vaughn making and seconding the motion. Roberts and Wright abstained from voting.
Felony Amounts Of Cocaine, THC, Marijuana, Weapon Found During Residential Search
Felony amounts of cocaine, THC, marijuana and a weapon were found during a residential search Wednesday afternoon. Three people were taken into custody and arrested.
Sulphur Springs Police Special Crimes Unit Lt. Mark Estes, along with police detectives, executed a narcotics search warrant at a South League Street apartment in regard to the alleged sale and use of narcotics. During a search of the residence, Estes reported finding 22.7 grams of cocaine, 62 grams of THC, 2.7 pounds of marijuana and an AR-15 pistol.
The occupants of the South League Street residence were reportedly arrested at 4:56 p.m. March 9, 2022. They are 18-year-old Rene Perea, 18-year-old and Preslie Paige Lappin, and a juvenile.
Perea and Lappin were charged with manufacture or delivery of 4 grams or more but less than 200 grams of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance, manufacture or delivery of 4 grams or more but less than 400 grams of a Penalty Group 2/2A controlled substance and a delivery of 1/4-ounce but less than 5 pounds of marijuana charge. A drug free zone enhancement was added to all three charges due to the location’s proximity to a school. Perea was also charged on a warrant for violation of probation on a theft of firearm charge.
Both Perea and Lappin remained in Hopkins County jail Thursday, March 10, 2022 on the charges. Bond was set at $300,000 each – $100,000 per controlled substance charge and $100,000 on the marijuana charge.

Social Security, Office of Inspector General Hold National Slam The Scam Day
The Social Security Administration and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) are partnering to raise public awareness about Social Security imposter scams during the third annual “Slam the Scam” Day on March 10. Social Security scams – where fraudsters attempt to mislead victims into making cash or gift card payments to fix purported Social Security number problems or to avoid arrest – are an ongoing government imposter fraud scheme. For several years, Social Security impersonation scams have been one of the most common government imposter scams reported to the Federal Trade Commission. Social Security has made concerted efforts to address this issue, and extensive outreach and investigative efforts are having a positive impact, decreasing scam reports to OIG by more than 20 percent since 2020.
“I am proud of the work we have done to combat Social Security imposter scams, yet I remain deeply concerned that fraudsters continue trying to deceive people into providing personal information or money,” said Acting Social Security Commissioner Kilolo Kijakazi. “Above all, I urge people to remain alert, hang up if a scammer calls, and ignore their attempts if you receive a suspicious email, text, or letter.”
Criminals are sophisticated and there are many variations of this fraud scheme. For example, scammers may call or email saying they are from Social Security and that the person’s Social Security number is suspended or was used in a crime. The caller identification may be spoofed to appear as a legitimate government number. They may text or email fake documents in attempts to coerce people to comply with their demands. Another common tactic is citing “badge numbers.” In the latest development involving Social Security-related scams, criminals are using fraudulent Social Security letterhead to target individuals for money or personal information.
Social Security will never tell you that your Social Security number is suspended, contact you to demand an immediate payment, threaten you with arrest, ask for your credit or debit card numbers over the phone, ask for gift cards or cash, or promise a Social Security benefit approval or increase in exchange for information or money.
“As we continue working with our law enforcement partners and partners from the private sector to combat these sinister schemes, I urge consumers to simply hang up the phone, or delete suspicious texts and emails, without responding to the scammers,” Social Security Inspector General Gail Ennis said. “That is the easiest and most effective way to avoid falling prey to these vicious scams.”
Today’s events include:
- 3 p.m. ET: @SocialSecurity and @TheSSAOIG participate in a #SlamTheSlamChat on Twitter hosted by @USAgov.
- 7 p.m. ET: Facebook Live with the SSA Office of the Inspector General and the Division of Consumer & Business Education at the Federal Trade Commission.
Social Security employees do occasionally contact the public by telephone for business purposes. Ordinarily, the agency calls people who have recently applied for a Social Security benefit, someone who is already receiving payments and requires an update to their record, or a person who has requested a phone call from the agency. If there is a problem with a person’s Social Security number or record, Social Security will typically mail a letter.
To report a scam attempt, go to oig.ssa.gov. For more information, please visit www.socialsecurity.gov/scam and www.socialsecurity.gov/antifraudfacts/.
1 Fatality Reported In 18-Wheeler Crash On I-30 East Overpass Near Weaver
One fatality resulted from an 18-wheeler crash on an I-30 east overpass near Weaver late Wednesday night. Interstate 30 east near the crash was closed to traffic for approximately 12 hours, according to emergency officials.
Two 18-wheelers and trailers were reported to have been involved in the crash.
A 2016 Freightliner truck tractor towing a trailer was eastbound on I-30, 7 miles east of Sulphur Springs, just west of US Highway 67 at 11 p.m. March 9, 2022. For an as yet undetermined reason the truck left the road and struck the guardrail. The truck and trailer rolled over onto its side across the eastbound lanes, reportedly at an overpass. An eastbound 2008 International truck tractor towing a trailer struck the disabled truck-trailer rig, according to Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol Sgt. Gregg Williams, Media Communications/Safety Education for the Texarkana- North Texas Region.
The collision reportedly split the Freightliner-trailer rig in two, sending part of the trailer one direction and the section with the cab another direction across the roadway, Hopkins County officials reported Thursday morning. The front end of the Freightliner was reportedly smashed and left hanging off the other side of the railing. The front end of the International rig sustained significant damage as well, Hopkins County officials reported Thursday morning.
The driver of the Freightliner, believed to have been unsecured by a seat belt, was ejected and died at the crash site. Precinct 2 Justice of the Peace Brad Cummings pronounced 29-year-old Fadi Kathawa of Sterling Heights, Michigan, dead at 11:10 p.m. March 9, 2022, at the crash site. The body was removed by a local funeral home and has been sent to a Dallas medical examiner’s office for an autopsy, as is standard procedure in deaths of that nature, according to DPS and Hopkins County officials.
The driver of the International, identified as 33-year-old Lester Brown of Las Vegas, Nevada, was treated and released following the crash.
Interstate 30 east around the crash site was closed to traffic while emergency responders worked the crash site, investigating, attending occupants and removing the wreckage. Both lanes of I-30 east remained closed until 11 a.m. March 10, 2022, while officials continued working at the crash site.
The 18-wheeler crash remains under investigation by DPS, lead by Texas Highway Patrol Trooper George Greenway.
