Philips North America is recalling 555 units of the DIVA 24-inch Widescreen LCD Touch Display used with the Philips Patient Information Center (PIC iX) system. The display can malfunction by generating ghost touch inputs without any user being present, which may lead to the system automatically acknowledging and silencing critical patient alarms without medical staff seeing them. This recall affects Model RGD2461AMI with specific serial numbers distributed across several states and countries.
If the monitor incorrectly clears a patient alarm on its own, healthcare providers may not be alerted to dangerous changes in a patient's condition. This delay in medical response could lead to serious patient harm because the equipment fails to notify staff of an emergency situation.
