Reason

Philips has identified a Philips SureSigns VM1 monitor in the possession of a clinical user that was not intended for commercial distribution and for which Philips does not have records regarding its manufacture. Philips is therefore removing this device from distribution.

Action

The customer was asked to immediately locate the affected unit, remove it from clinical use, and quarantine the device in a secure location. A Philips representative will contact the customer to arrange for the removal of the affected unit. Customers with questions may contact their local Philips representative or call 1-800-722-9377.
