What happened

Philips North America is recalling 366 units of the SureSigns VS4 Government Bundle (Product Number 863286), a patient monitoring system used to measure blood pressure, oxygen saturation, and temperature. The recalled monitors have a software defect that prevents them from measuring, displaying, and alarming for pulse rates above 240 beats per minute, which could fail to alert medical personnel to dangerously elevated heart rates in patients.

The affected monitors were distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, as well as numerous international locations. The recall affects all serial numbers of this product, including those with the specified UDIs (01)00884838028890(21) and (01)00884838087075(21).
