Philips North America Llc has recalled approximately 2,475 units of IntelliBridge EC10 Modules and various IntelliVue Patient Monitor models (MX400, MX450, MX500, and MX550). These devices may fail to trigger a "No Device Data" alarm if a Hamilton ventilator is disconnected from the monitoring board or module. Clinicians may not be alerted to the loss of ventilation data, which could lead to missed changes in a patient's respiratory status. No injuries or deaths have been reported to date.
The monitor's failure to provide an audible or visual alarm when a ventilator is disconnected prevents medical staff from being immediately notified that vital data is no longer being recorded. This delay in notification could result in a failure to provide necessary respiratory care or intervention for critically ill patients.
Affected only when connected to Hamilton ventilators via IntelliBridge I/O boards.
