The philips clinical application specialist confirmed from the audit log at the control center that yellow alarms were triggered for the event, and that visual and audible alarms were triggered at the control center.The logs confirmed a user had changed the yellow alarm limit to 155bpm with a delta of 20bpm to enable a red alarm would be triggered at 175bpm.The yellow alert was consistent with the configuration, and the notification was delivered to supervisors.No malfunction was detected.A review of the device logs by the philips product support engineer confirmed that there are additional beds that show yellow alarms when the heart rate is above 155.The pse suggests that a user could have changed the upper limit setting for the yellow alarm, but not just for one bed, but for multiple beds.Based on the information available and the testing conducted, the cause of the reported problem was not confirmed.The reported problem was not confirmed.
