Siemens Sensis/Sensis Vibe Systems with VD1X Software May Cause Interface Freeze
Siemens recalls Sensis and Sensis Vibe systems with VD1X software due to rare interface freezes after 7 days without reboot. Affected units have specific serial numbers.
System operator manual states that the system should be rebooted once, every 7 days. In some cases, users are not following these instructions and the system is running for more than 7 days. Under rare circumstances, this may result in a partial freeze of the user interface which would no longer update the vital signs
