Philips received a complaint on the intellivue mx800 patient monitor indicating that it did not sound red alert for artery.The patient went into cardiac arrest, but there is no further information regarding the clinical outcome available.A field service engineer (fse) went onsite and carried out a check on the monitor.The fse found that the monitor was configured to alarm artery as not a serious alarm.The fse re-examined the events and found that the alarm appeared regularly as yellow.The current configuration was confirmed by the fse, and once confirmed, the alarm regularly sounded.The fse verified that the monitor was ready for clinical use.The device was confirmed to be operating per specifications and no failure was identified.The fse changed the configuration to resolve the customer's issue.If additional information is received the complaint file will be reopened.
