What the company is doing

On 4/15/2025, correction notices were mailed to customers and distributors informing them of the following: I) The User/Operator Manual provides precautions and warnings on maintaining appropriate power or battery supply, which may reduce the risk of occurrence of an "MPM Application" software error message: -Warning (In Chapter 2, Getting started): Ensure the latches on both sides of the battery are fully engaged prior to using the Tempus - an incorrectly fitted battery could result in the tempus losing power during use. -Note: Before removing the battery, you must switch off the Tempus Pro by pressing the power button. Do not remove the battery when the Tempus is on (unless there is a power supply attached to the device). II) If you have confirmed that your Tempus Pro has the standard (Louvain) algorithm, continue to follow the User/Operator Manual, which warns users to not make evaluations based solely on interpretation statements from the algorithm. -Warning (In Chapter 6, Taking medical readings): ECG interpretation performed by software is not a substitute for review and evaluation of ECG recordings by a qualified clinician. Keep a copy of this notice with your device until you receive the correction. Complete and return the response form via email to https://philips.efmfeedback.com/se/705E3ED80DE11FAF In addition, distributors were asked to do the following: - Modify the Response Form to substitute your firm's email and fax information. - Send a copy of this Urgent Medical Device Correction (with modified response form) to each customer to whom you distributed the affected product. Philips has developed a software update to resolve these issues that is expected to be available Q3 2025 via FCO86700012.
