EarlyVue VS30 Vital Signs Monitor and EarlyVue VS30 Vitals monitor Missing Calibration Alarm, a risk of an inaccurate CO2 measurement which may lead to a failure to recognize a change in patient condition.
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
Philips EarlyVue VS30 vital signs monitors lack a calibration alarm, potentially causing inaccurate CO2 measurements. This could prevent clinicians from detecting changes in patient condition.
Philips is recalling 1,421 EarlyVue VS30 Vital Signs Monitor units in the U.S. because a missing calibration alarm can cause inaccurate CO2 measurements and failure to detect critical patient condition changes.
