EarlyVue VS30 Vital Signs Monitor lacks calibration alarm, risking inaccurate CO2 readings
Philips EarlyVue VS30 vital signs monitors lack a calibration alarm, potentially causing inaccurate CO2 measurements. This could prevent clinicians from detecting changes in patient condition.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is theoretical—a missing calibration alarm creates a risk of inaccurate CO2 measurement, which 'may lead to' failure to recognize patient condition changes. With no reported harms and a theoretical hazard, this fits the 'High' severity category for risk-of-harm medical devices.
