It was reported that a tachycardia alarm was triggered on the device.Accordingly, an attempt was made to lower the heart rate by administering a beta-blocker (metoprolol).However, the device continued to trigger tachycardia alarms, prompting repeated countermeasures using beta-blockers.As the tachycardia alarm persisted, the user independently measured the heart rate using a non-philips monitor, which revealed that the patient had actually become bradycardic; however, the device did not display a bradycardia alarm following the administration of the medication.As a result, the patient was transferred from the stroke unit to intensive care.No other clinical information or medical intervention was reported; therefore, good faith efforts are being performed.
