- Identify your device: check if you have a Philips MX40 (Model 867216) patient monitor
- Contact Philips or your healthcare facility's biomedical team for a firmware update or replacement
- Continue using the monitor—do not discontinue patient monitoring without clinical guidance
- Report any connection issues to your facility immediately
