Recall Details
- Company:
- Philips Electronics North America Corporation
- Reason for Recall:
- Philips has received several reports in which monitors with lithium ion batteries that had exceeded their battery life expectancy have overheated or ignited. These batteries should be replaced every 3 years or upon reaching 300 charge-discharge cycles. Although the Philips SureSigns VS & VM Monitors and View Station (VSV) can display actual information on either or both battery age and charge-discharge cycles, the existing labeling does not include full instructions on how to use this information to determine when to replace the battery. An overheated battery may in turn cause the device case to overheat and possibly melt or cause the device to ignite, which can cause injury to a patient, nearby users, or cause damage to property.
- Classification:
- Class I - Dangerous
Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.
- Status:
- ongoing
