  • Causa
    According to the record holder there is an error in the conversion of the unit weight and height, in the metric setting, in the calculation for the patient's body surface area that results in incorrect calculation.
  • Acción
    The registry holder will perform a field correction of the equipment and advises users to verify that the version of the software used is affected. Philips corrected this problem in versions 1.3.3 and higher. If you have a software version affected, contact your local Philips representative to schedule an upgrade of your software. Note: If Pediatric Cardiology is enabled, please contact your local Philips representative urgently to schedule an update of your software in accordance with FCO79500337. Until your software can be upgraded, the situation can be avoided by ensuring that the Patient Data Units setting is set to "English" units. If this setting is not acceptable to your institution and you need to use the "Metric" units, you can avoid the problem by ensuring the following: 1. After turning on the system, open the Patient Data screen before including an examination. This will put the Patient Data screen back in an appropriate status and the problem will not occur. 2. Ensure that the Patient Data screen is maintained in the Metric units instead of English units. If a height or weight value has to be reported in English [English] units, then it must be converted to Metric manually to avoid the problem. Finally, ensuring that the Patient Data screen is using the Metric units before loading the data of any examination will prevent the data from this examination from being changed.
