H3 and h6:the piic audit logs were provided to a philips clinical product specialist (cps).It was determined that 57 red alarms occurred from 8pm-9pm, but no blood pressure alarms were noted.As this involves a piic classic, the audit logs do not show the alarm as on or off.It is noted the recorder log was empty, so no automatic alarm recording was logged either.Csp advised obtaining the specific bed label and bedside configuration file for further analysis, as there is an extreme pressure red alarm that can be enabled, but may not have been on.Without the extreme pressure red alarm, blood pressure alarms are yellow and would not show in the red audit log.The audit log excerpt is as follows: the bed label and bedside configuration file were requested from the customer.The customer replied stating they do not believe the piic classic caused or contributed to the patient¿s death and did not question the proper functioning of the bedside monitor or piic classic.Customer resolution and conclusion the malfunction could not be confirmed.The bedside configuration file was not provided for further analysis.Therefore, it cannot be determined if the blood pressure alarm was on or off before, during, or after the incident.This information was relayed to the customer.No subsequent calls were noted.The device remains in use at the customer¿s site.No further investigation or action is warranted at this time.Submission of a report does not constitute an admission that medical personnel, user facility, importer, distributor, manufacturer, or product caused or contributed to the event.
