Philips has identified that certain fasteners cannot be confirmed to have been torqued according to specification. If the fasteners were not torqued as specified and a failure occurs while the system is in use, the parts secured by the fasteners may become loose, which may have a potential for harm.

Issue with ECG out cables. When a Philips monitor/defibrillator is receiving an ECG signal from an auxiliary bedside monitor via a sync cable or ECG out cable, the following can occur if the monitor/defibrillator experiences interference from electrical fast transients (EFTs): " On the HeartStart MRx and HeartStart XL, EFT noise may be misinterpreted as an R-wave. " On the HeartStart XL+, EFT noise can disable ECG monitoring and potentially interrupt demand mode pacing*. *Note: It is contrary to the XL+ Instructions for Use to perform demand mode pacing while using the ECG out cable or obtaining the ECG signal from a bedside monitor. The XL+ Instructions for Use includes the following warning: When pacing in Demand Mode, the ECG cable from the patient must be directly connected to the HeartStart XL+. If the user follows this warning, this problem cannot occur on the XL+.

SPAG-2 unit nebulizers from Lot J0571670RA were tested at Next Breath for particle sizing under the validated method, NB-TM-261, In November 2016. The particle size specification set in NB-SPEC-039 for Dv10, Dv50, & Dv90 are a mean value of no more than 3.0ΒΏm, 5.5 ΒΏm, and 15ΒΏm respectively. Initial testing of the nebulizers yielded four units that delivered particle sizes that did not meet the specification (NB-SPEC-039). The out of specification (OOS) nebulizers were cleaned per the approved SPAG-2 procedure, SPE-000127228 Rev 2, to remove any product residue and were then re-evaluated. Secondary testing yielded that three of the four nebulizers still did not meet the particle size specification. It was concluded that the 3 nebulizers from SPAG-2 Lot J0571670RA failed to meet (SPE-000127228 Rev 2) did not resolve the high droplet size distribution values observed.
