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.

This constitutes a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, warranting classification as High per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

The muRata Vios Monitoring System Model 2050 is a bedside cardiac monitor used in healthcare settings to display and monitor patient vital signs, ECG waveforms, and cardiac activity. A software defect in version 1.57.20 has prompted an FDA Class II recall affecting 62 units distributed in New York, Texas, Ohio, Maryland, and India.

During system setup and workflow operations, patient vital signs and ECG waveforms can become distorted and will flicker or flash rapidly. This issue occurs only on the Central Station Monitor when viewing patient tiles and does not affect the bedside monitor or other points in the monitoring workflow.

Facilities using the affected equipment should contact Murata Vios, Inc. to obtain information about corrective measures or equipment replacement options.
