A philips account manager (ac) remotely interviewed the customer who was onsite.The mounting arm was confirmed to be a gcx vhm mount which was mounted on a stud wall.The ac confirmed philips initially installed the mount; however, the customer moved the mount during a ward expansion.There was no philips field service engineer (fse) onsite for physical inspection thus far.However, technical contractors were sent to complete a load test report.The customer confirmed the mounting arm could be adjusted to increase tension.At the time of the event, there was nothing happening that would cause the mounting arm to fall.Based on the information available and the testing conducted, the cause of the reported problem was confirmed to be user error.The customer moved the mount during a ward expansion.The customer plans to relocate the mounting arms to a more secure wall mount, so that they are not located directly above the cot spaces.The device remains at the customer site.The instructions for use (ifu) states "mount the monitor using either the philips quick mount or fix mount solution or another approved mounting solution.Select the mounting equipment and the mounting position so that no patient, operator or other person can be harmed by a monitor removed intentionally or released accidentally from the mount.When using the quick mount, be aware of the danger of accidental activation of the quick mount release button when lifting or moving items located under the monitor, such as pole mounts, etc.If in doubt, use the philips fix mount solution to avoid such situations.Refer to the respective intellivue monitor service manual, installation instructions chapter, for more details.
