Plain-English summary
Philips North America, LLC is recalling IntelliVue MX40 Patient Monitors (Product number 865351) due to a defect in the battery management system. The affected devices may experience increased power consumption and may fail to provide visual and/or audible notifications when the battery reaches a low state.
The recall covers all revision B.X versions of the device, which are distributed worldwide, including the United States and 71 other countries. The MX40 is primarily used as a traditional telemetry medical device that connects to the IntelliVue Information Center via a wireless network.

Healthcare facilities should contact Philips for instructions on how to address the issue. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
