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.

Plain-English summary

Philips Electronics North America Corporation is recalling 975 units of the IntelliVue X3 Patient Monitor (Model 867030). The recall affects devices shipped from June 2017 that were distributed to 48 foreign accounts.

The recall is due to a defect where the monitor's Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NBP) measurement may intermittently display only mean values instead of diastolic and systolic blood pressure values. This issue is caused by a falsely detected NBP cuff, which leads to incorrect internal NBP settings. Additionally, the monitors may occasionally display a "Check Touch Input" message, rendering the touch interface inoperable.

No specific instructions for consumers are provided in the source text, but the recall is limited to the specific serial numbers listed in the agency's structured data. Healthcare facilities should verify their device serial numbers against the recall list to determine if they are affected.
