Philips is recalling 13,300 IntelliVue Module Measurement X2 units because the ST elevation alarm may not sound during Hexad 12-Lead ECG monitoring.

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 where a critical alarm may fail to sound, posing a risk of harm to patients, but the source text does not report any specific 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 IntelliVue Module Measurement X2 (Model M3002A). The recall affects software revisions K.21.54 or L.00.96. The product was distributed worldwide, including in the United States and numerous international markets.

The recall is due to a defect where 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 critical alerts regarding potential cardiac events.

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 this is a medical device used in professional settings.
