The customer reported that the intellivue mx40 did not give an alarm between 13:00 and 14:00 and because they did not see an alarm the patient passed away.The time of death was on (b)(6) 2022, around 14:00.A good faith effort (gfe) confirmed that the (pic ix teledw-cp1) didn't provide alarms because the mx40 was disconnected at that time.A philips field service engineer (fse) went to the customer site.A gfe confirmed that the log files from the (pic ix teledw-cp1) showed the mx40 went offline at 13:04:35 and went online again on 14:28:26.In this time period the mx40 did not have a connection and was functioning as a standalone monitor.The fse also stated that the piic ix was tested and it is working as intended.Pic ix logs were requested, but no response was provided.It is unknown if the device went offline intentionally, if the staff put the device on standby or if this was an unplanned lost connection.It is unclear if the lack of alarm may have been in a factor in the subsequent death of the patient.It remains unclear if the lack of alarms was the result of failure, malfunction, improper or inadequate design, manufacture, labeling, or user error.
