Philips North America Llc is recalling 13,470 units of the Philips Smart-hopping 2.0 AP 1.4 GHz patient monitor system. The recall was initiated because the MX40 monitoring device can fail to reconnect to the central Patient Information Center (PIC iX) when patients move between different wireless access points if signal strength changes rapidly. If the device fails to reconnect, healthcare providers may lose the ability to monitor patient vitals or receive critical alarms, which could lead to delayed medical treatment during an emergency.
The device may lose its connection to the wireless network when moving between different types of access points, preventing medical staff from receiving live patient data and alarm notifications. This loss of monitoring poses a risk of delayed response to life-threatening patient events.
Quantity affected: 13,470 Units. The issue occurs when moving between Radiohead and Trident 1.4 GHz access points if signal strength changes quickly.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
