Section b event date was corrected.Philips healthcare investigated the issue.The audit logs were pulled and provided to philips by the field service engineer (fse) and were reviewed by the philips telemetry product support engineer (pse).Based on the log review, there were no spo2 desat alarms provided in the incident timeframe.There were several spo2t no pulse and spo2t noisysignal inop alarms throughout the incident timeframe.Spo2t no pulse inop indicates the pulse is too weak or not detectable.The spo2t noisysignal inop indicates there is excessive patient movement or electrical interference causing irregular pulse patterns.The noted spo2 inops are intended to alert users to issues that prevent the spo2 measurement from being calculated.There were ecg limit violation alarms (**yellow), vtach (***red), and asystole (***red) provided as the patient¿s condition changed/deteriorated.The rfda log does not reveal any losses of communication between the mx40 and network/pic ix during the incident timeframe.Based on the foregoing investigation, philips healthcare has determined that the issue reported to us is not consistent with a product malfunction.
