Murata Vios Model 2050 Bedside Cardiac Monitor: Distorted Vital Signs During Setup
Murata Vios recalls Model 2050 bedside cardiac monitors with software versions 1.49.02 and 1.52.00. Distorted ECG waveforms and flickering vital signs may occur during setup, potentially causing inaccurate readings.
During the set-up and workflow to begin Vios monitoring, it has been noticed that patient vital signs and ECG waveforms can become distorted and will flicker or flash very fast. This issue only occurs on the Central Station Monitor (CSM) in the patient tiles view and is not seen at any other point during patient monitoring & not on the Bedside Monitor.
