Reason

Philips has become aware that the SpO2 (peripheral capillary oxygen saturation) and non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) waveform and numeric values displayed on the device may freeze, resulting in the display of measurements that are not current. Although SpO2 and NIBP monitoring and alarms are no longer functional, all other monitoring parameters are functional and visible. If this problem were to occur, the device can be reset by power cycling and the reset will allow the customer to continue monitoring. However, power cycling the device does not prevent the issue from recurring.
