Remote Diagnostic Technologies Ltd. is recalling 3,524 Philips Tempus Pro Patient Monitors (models 00-1004-R, 00-1007-R, 00-1024-R, 00-1026-R, 00-1004, and 00-1007) when used with the Tempus Pro Video Laryngoscope. A software and hardware defect can cause a full-screen error message requiring a 60-100 second system restart, often occurring when the laryngoscope is unplugged. During this time, medical professionals cannot view vital signs or see the patient's airway, which can lead to critical delays in treatment or dangerous drops in oxygen levels.
The device may stop functioning and require a lengthy restart, preventing the visualization of the patient's airway during intubation and the monitoring of vital signs, potentially leading to hypoxia or treatment delay.
