Philips IntelliVue Measurement Module X1 Recalled for ST Alarm Failure

Philips is recalling 13,300 IntelliVue Measurement Module X1 units because the ST elevation alarm may not sound for specific ECG leads.

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: The recall involves a medical device safety feature failure (alarm not sounding) which poses a risk of harm to patients, but the source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Philips Electronics North America Corporation is recalling 13,300 units of the Philips IntelliVue Measurement Module X1 (Model M3001A). The recall affects units with Software Revision K.21.54 or L.00.96. These devices were distributed nationwide and in numerous countries worldwide.

The recall was initiated because the ST elevation alarm on the Patient Monitor or standalone X2 Measurement Module will not sound when indicated for all chest leads derived using Hexad 12-Lead ECG Monitoring in the Host Monitor. This failure could prevent healthcare providers from receiving an audible alert for specific ECG conditions.

Healthcare facilities and users should contact Philips for instructions on how to resolve the issue. The source text does not specify a particular action for consumers, as these are medical devices typically managed by institutional procurement or biomedical engineering departments.
