- Reason
- Philips IntelliSpace ECG (IECG) Management Systems that are importing Stress ECG records from a Quinton Stress ECG system have the potential for the patient record to contain multiple and therefore inaccurate patient identifiers such as: patient name, patient ID (PID), Medical record number (MRN). This creates the potential for misdiagnosis and incorrect therapy.

- Action
- Philips Healthcare sent an Urgent Medical Device Correction Notification / Field Safety notice dated August 7, 2014, to all affected customers. The letter identified the product the problem and the action needed to be taken by the customer. This Field Safety Notice is intended to inform you about: " what the issue is and under what conditions it can occur " the actions that should be taken by the customer/user in order to prevent risks for patients " the corrective action planned by Philips to address the following issue 1)Previously Imported Stress Records: Institutions that have imported Quinton Stress ECG records into IECG should review each previously imported record to make sure that multiple patient ID data is not present. Institutions that imported stress records at the end of each stress exam or did not batch process the records should not find any records with multiple Patient IDs in the record. However, we do recommend that you perform the review to confirm that multiple Patient IDs do not exist. 2) Continued Use: Software is now available to address the issue described in this letter. If you have not already been contacted by Philips please call to arrange for immediate installation of the software upgrade.
