Royal Philips NV agreed with the U.S. FDA to the terms of a consent decree focused on its Respironics business, following the recall of millions of its devices over the last few years. Although the details of the decree are being finalized, Philips said it will halt the sales of new continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) sleep therapy machines as well as other respiratory care devices in the U.S. until the conditions of the decree are met.
