Reason for Recall
When a Neonatal patient is admitted, the Non-Invasive Blood Pressure is not set to Neonatal mode on the Philips Xperflex Cardio FC2010 patient monitor. If the NIBP is not set to Neonatal, the cuff inflation pressure applied will be higher than 150 mmHg and the deflation pressure will be higher than 5 mmHg. An applied cuff inflation pressure higher than 150mmHg or a deflation pressure higher than 5 could lead to bruising, mmHg nerve damage or bone deformity for a neonate.
