What happened

Philips North America is recalling 3,177 units of the SureSigns VS3 NBP patient monitor (Product Number 863072) due to a software defect. The monitor is designed to measure and display physiological parameters including blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and temperature. The recalled units have a system software problem that prevents the monitor from measuring, displaying, or alarming when a patient's pulse rate exceeds 240 beats per minute, which could pose a risk to patients requiring monitoring at high heart rates.

The recalled monitors have been distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and numerous countries internationally. The recall affects all units with serial numbers matching the specified UDIs ending in (21)00884838028890 or (21)00884838087075 followed by the serial number.
