Philips Telemetry Monitor 5500 recalled for potential device reset and loss of central monitoring connection

Philips Telemetry Monitor 5500 recalled for reset risk

Philips Telemetry Monitor 5500 (model 867232) devices may unexpectedly reset to a default state, causing them to lose their configuration settings and disconnect from the hospital's central monitoring system. This could prevent the monitor from reconnecting to the PIC iX central system until manually reconfigured.

• If you operate this device in a hospital or clinical setting, contact Philips North America for instructions on identifying affected units and applying any available fixes or firmware updates.
• Affected serial numbers are listed in the original FDA notice; check your device's serial number to determine if it is involved.
• Do not rely on affected monitors without confirming they can reconnect to your central monitoring system.
