Manufacturer Narrative

Philips investigated this complaint.The shunt trip (emergency power button) was pressed when the patient entered into cardiopulmonary arrest and the user wanted to alert the resuscitation team.When the shunt trip (emergency power button) was pressed there was no power delivered to the system anymore, resulting in the system not being operative.An electrician on site reset all breakers and the ups breaker and the system was operative again.The shunt trip is not a function offered by philips and is not part of the philips system, but hospitals may install it to remove the power of the system in cases of emergency.The resuscitation alarm is not a philips function either.During the investigation philips was informed that the procedure was canceled and the patient was transferred to the coronary care unit (ccu).The patient regained consciousness and was put on oxygen.The procedure was continued the next day.Because philips received this additional information about the patient we changed the classification of the complaint into serious injury.Philips was informed that condition of the patient is stable.There was no malfunction of the system.No further actions will be taken by philips.
