Remote Diagnostic Technologies Ltd. is recalling approximately 6,961 Philips Tempus Pro Patient Monitors because software issues can cause the devices to freeze or reboot unexpectedly. The recall affects models 00-1004-R, 00-1007-R, 00-1024-R, 00-1026-R, 00-1004, and 00-1007 running software versions prior to vx.40. These critical failures can occur during device startup, while performing an ECG, or when connecting the monitor to a Smart Mount, which may lead to delays in monitoring and treatment.
The software defects can cause the monitor to become unresponsive or restart during patient care, potentially resulting in a loss of vital sign monitoring or a delay in emergency medical intervention. Additionally, certain older software versions may generate inaccurate heart rhythm interpretations, which could lead to incorrect diagnosis or treatment decisions.
Software update vx.40 is intended to address MPM Application errors, 12-lead ECG freezes, Smart Mount reboots, and inaccurate rhythm/morphology statements.
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.
