Reason for Recall

Software: A software defect under certain circumstances could lead to the unintended administration of a duplicate dose of a scheduled medication within a single 24 hour period

Firm Action

Philips Medical notified accounts by letter on 5/6/09 the Urgent - Medical Device Correction notification. While customers await the correction of their devices, customers are given the following instructions: Clinicians should not rely solely on the worklist within CareVue Chart to determine actionable orders for the patient until their software is upgraded. Clinical users should always use the medication administration record (MAR) and the administration record in determining the care their patients receive in addition to the critical care worklist. Philips is currently developing a correction that will be available at no additional charge. A Philips representative will notify customers when the software correction becomes available. If further assistance is needed, customers are to contact the Philips Customer Care Center at 1-800-722-9377.
