Philips IntelliVue Patient Monitor Software Configuration Disables Enhanced ECG Alarms
Philips patient monitors with Option CP2 software version P.01.01 were factory-configured incorrectly, leaving enhanced arrhythmia detection alarms disabled. Affected devices will not trigger yellow alarms for enhanced arrhythmia detection.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is FDA Class II recall of a patient monitoring device where a critical function (arrhythmia detection alarms) is disabled due to incorrect factory configuration. Although no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, the disabled functionality poses a risk of harm in clinical settings.
Plain-English summary
Certain Philips IntelliVue Patient Monitor models (MX400, MX450, MX500, MX550) with software version P.01.01 and Option CP2 were configured incorrectly during manufacturing. The Enhanced ECG Capabilities provided by Option CP2 were not properly enabled in these devices. As a result, the monitors will not provide yellow alarms for enhanced arrhythmia detection.
This recall affects 153 units that were distributed outside the United States, specifically to Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. The affected devices are identified by their specific serial numbers and UDI codes, which are listed by the manufacturer.
