Reason of Field Safety Corrective Action: In automatic external defibrillator (AED) mode, the MRx may have difficulty interpreting the pads ECG waveform. The MRx may incorrectly analyze the rhythm or may fail to analyze the rhythm. • In manual defibrillation mode, if the pads/paddles ECG signal is viewed, the user may have trouble interpreting the pads/paddles ECG waveform and determining whether or not to deliver therapy. • When using Q-CPR Measurement and Feedback, the feedback on ventilation rate may be inaccurate.
Remedy Action: Philips representative will be contacting you to schedule the installation of updated PCAs in all affected devices. (user instruction attached)
