Plain-English summary

Mindray DS USA, Inc. dba Mindray North America is recalling 1,938 units of the BeneVision Distributed Monitoring System (DMS). The recall affects specific hardware part numbers (115-051209-00, 115-034414-00, and 115-034413-00) when used with software versions 03.04.00, 04.01.00, 04.03.00, 04.04.00, or 04.04.01. The affected systems were distributed nationwide and in Canada.

The recall is due to a defect where the system may intermittently freeze and require a manual reboot to resume normal operation. If a freeze occurs, patients monitored on a telemetry transmitter will no longer communicate data to the BeneVision DMS. The source text does not report any injuries or illnesses associated with this defect.

Healthcare facilities should identify affected units by checking the serial numbers listed in the official recall notice. Users should contact Mindray for instructions on how to resolve the issue, which may involve software updates or hardware replacement.
