Philips recalls IntelliVue MP20 monitors (model M8001A) due to potential failure to alarm, which could lead to missed critical health alerts. Affected units may need repair or replacement.
Potential issue where the IntelliVue monitors did not alarm.
Philips is recalling IntelliVue MP20 monitors that might not sound alarms when a patient's condition worsens. This could mean life-threatening health issues go unnoticed. Affected customers should check their product numbers and follow the recall instructions.
The monitors may fail to sound alarms during critical health events, such as a patient's sudden deterioration. This could delay life-saving interventions if the healthcare provider doesn't notice the patient's condition changing.
Patients using these monitors for critical care are most at risk. Healthcare providers who rely on the device for real-time health monitoring may also be affected.
Check for product number M8001A on the monitor. The recall includes all units sold with this model number, including those with UDI-DI: 00884838000193.
Look for the product number M8001A on the monitor or its packaging.
The monitors may not sound alarms when a patient's condition worsens, which could lead to missed critical health alerts.
Check the product number on your monitor. If it matches M8001A, contact Philips for instructions on next steps.
The recall states a potential issue with alarms, but the record does not specify if this could cause serious injury in normal use.
