Vios Monitoring System Bedside Monitor, Model BSM2050, Software Version Numbers 1.54.20 and 1.56.00
A premature failure condition was identified with the L2050R pulse oximeter SpO2 sensor that connects to the L2050G Vios chest sensor device. When a failure occurs, a Pulse Ox Sensor Off warning condition will be incorrectly displayed by the system.

muRata Vios Monitoring System Model 2050; bedside cardiac monitor, including cardiotachometer and alarm rate
During the set-up and workflow to begin Vios monitoring, it has been noticed that patient vital signs and ECG waveforms can become distorted and will flicker or flash very fast. This issue only occurs on the Central Station Monitor (CSM) in the patient tiles view and is not seen at any other point during patient monitoring & not on the Bedside Monitor.

Blood pressure (BP) circuit of the ANSAR ANX-3.0 Autonomic Monitor system. The ANX 3.0 system is comprised of these components. 1. Patient Physiological Monitor, 2. Laptop Computer, 3. Stand w/wheels, 4. Patient cables, 5. Software components (Respiratory and Cardiac Spectral Frequency Signal Processor). The different monitor components that can be used in the system are one of the following per system are as follows: Patient Physiological Monitors used: CJPS Vital Pro, Zoe Medical Nightingale Monitoring system, Ivy Biomedical model 405P, Software components: Ansar ANS C 3000. The device is also referred to as the ANS-C3000.
The blood pressure (BP) circuit occasionally fails to inflate the blood pressure cuff and the BP circuit fails to activate, resulting in no BP measured.
