There was no philips product malfunction.Based on the provided information, a customer nurse had logged into a voalte system phone, and a second nurse had logged into another voalte system phone with the same serial number.This resulted in the nurse caring for the impacted patient getting canceled from the voalte phone system; therefore, the red alarm alert did not get paged through to this nurse's phone.Further evaluation found that there were two other voalte phones that had been assigned the same serial number.The voalte representative stated that the duplicate phone should be sent back to the manufacturer, because all serial numbers should be unique.The customer will be working with voalte to correct this issue.The philips device remains at the customer site.No further investigation is warranted at this time.
