A philips remote service engineer (rse) remotely interviewed the customer.The customer felt they were getting a lot of alarms they did not understand the reasoning behind them.The rse checked through their logs and confirmed this was in fact true, but the logs did not show a clear explanation as to why.The customer later on confirmed the speaker inoperative alarms originated from the x3 speaker.The x3 had audible sound even though there was a speaker inoperative message present.The mx450 sound worked fine as did the x3 sound.Such issues tend to occur when the x3 operates in companion mode, for long periods of time, with a host monitor.Based on the information provided in the case and by the philips rse, the cause of the reported problem was confirmed to be the x3 when connected in companion mode to a host monitor for a long periods of time.The customer still experienced inoperative alarm messages, and they will take responsibility for the ongoing investigations by observing these alarms when they happen.They will also take notice of how the unit is being used at that time by the hospital staff.The customer and the clinical specialist have met and did not hear anything more regarding this issue.No further investigation or action is warranted at this time.It was confirmed that sound was still coming from the x3 and the inop with confirmed sound is not reportable.The speaker malfunction inop seemed to be related to an issue the x3 has when connected in companion mode for a longer periods of time to a host monitor.A good faith effort confirmed a device update from the intellivue mx450 patient monitor, 866062, sn (b)(6) to the intellivue x3, 867030, sn unknown.
