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 medical device recall involving a potential electrical grounding defect in patient monitors used in critical care settings. The source does not report injuries or adverse events, but the risk-of-harm nature of a patient monitoring device with a confirmed manufacturing defect affecting electrical grounding warrants a High severity classification.
Plain-English summary
Philips North America is recalling approximately 545 IntelliVue Patient Monitor units (models MX400, MX430, MX450, MX500, and MX550). During manufacturing, one device was found with a broken ground bolt on the power supply, which can disconnect the ground cable from the equipotential ground connector. Loss of electrical grounding may negatively affect the device's electromagnetic immunity and emission characteristics.
The affected devices were shipped after April 26, 2024, and have been distributed nationwide in the United States and globally. The recalled monitors are used in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities for continuous patient monitoring.
Healthcare facilities can identify potentially affected units by checking the manufacturing date on the back of the monitor. Facilities should contact Philips North America for instructions on inspection, repair, or replacement of the affected power supply units.
