Approximately 960 units of the Philips Patient Information Center (PIC iX) Release 4.x are being recalled due to a software error involving Intel Graphics Drivers. This defect causes the monitoring surveillance system to crash and the screen to go blank, which stops the active monitoring of patients. When this occurs, healthcare staff must manually reboot the hardware to restore the system and continue patient monitoring. This recall affects models including PIC iX, PIC iX Expand, and PIC iX Essentials.
A system crash leads to a blank monitoring screen, which creates a critical gap in patient surveillance. This failure can result in a delay in detecting life-threatening changes or the deterioration of a patient's condition because the central station is unable to display or alert staff to vital sign changes while the system is down.
