Philips North America Llc has recalled 358 units of the Patient Information Center iX and Patient Information Center iX Expand software (Version 4.x) due to a defect where event catalog information is lost during transfers between units. This software, used in clinical settings to monitor patient data, fails to save critical event configuration details when copied from one monitoring station to another. The recall affects 45 units in the United States and 313 units internationally across various states including CA, FL, GA, and TX.
If the event catalog information does not save correctly, medical staff may be working with incomplete or incorrect patient event settings. This could lead to a delay in recognizing critical changes in a patient's condition or an incorrect response to patient monitoring alerts, potentially resulting in patient harm.
