  Remote Patient Monitoring System, MDP 2000 Series, Part Numbers: MDP2040-0100, PGM340R3, or PGM340R4. The MDP2000 is intended for use in conjunction with patient monitoring equipment. The MDP2000 is not patient connected Examples of areas where the MDP200 is used include ICU, CCU, PACU, Emergency, Telemetry Step-down and other areas where patient's physiological information are to be observed at one or more locations. Typical information displayed includes ECG and blood pressure waveforms and numeric values which as heart rate and systolic, mean and diastolic pressure. This device acts as the Central Monitor Station, it permits from one (1) to sixteen (16) bedside monitor(s) to be connected simultaneously.

  Testing at customer site showed unit Remote Patient Monitoring System MDP2040-0100 in a continuous trap condition, not allowing system to reset and reboot. Two customers recently complained of the system freezing and it could only be restarted if the user re-applied power.

  The eCareManager system. Software intended for use in data collection, storage and clinical information management with independent bedside devices, and ancillary systems that are connected either directly or through networks. For use in a hospital environment. eCareManager allows clinicians to generate a PDF display of an order (new, change, discontinue), which is printed at the bedside and/or hospital pharmacy. This printed PDF should be reviewed by the clinician and verified by the hospital pharmacist and entered into the hospital pharmacy system.

  A software defect may cause incorrect medication order change. If the user decides to edit the order prior to electronic signature AND selects the return to Previous Screen function, the previously selected medication is replaced with whatever medication is in the number one spot on the complete medication list. At the stage where the order is signed, the medication displayed may be incorrect.

  Mindray DS USA, Inc., DPM Central Monitoring System with ambulatory Telepack. Part numbers: 300BF-PA00002, and 300BF-PA00003 (DPM Central Monitoring System) 115-006908-01, -03, -04 (DPM software upgrade kit). The DPM Central Monitoring System transfers information between DPM Central station and other networked devices.

  Mindray has identified a software anomaly that may where, in the presence of an asystole, the Telepack ECG waveform may produce a unique step pattern (instead of a flat line) if Lead 1 or V is being utilized for detecting cardiac arrhythmia.

  DPM Central Station Mindray DS USA, Inc. 800 MacArthur Boulevard, Mahwah, NJ 07430 The Central Monitoring Station (CMS) network transfers information between DOM Central Station and other network devices. It also allows information transfer between several CMS. Network connections consist of hardwired network cables and or WLAN connections. The DPM Central Station is used for remote monitor management, storing, printing, reviewing, or processing of information from net worked devices, and it is operated by medical personnel in hospitals or medical institutions.

  There is a software anomaly with the DPM Central Monitoring System where the trend data of one patient maybe replaced with the trend data of a second patient.

  Philips eCareManager System, Model 865325, software versions 3.7, 3.7.1 and 3.8. Product Usage: The Philips eCareManager System software is intended for use in data collection, storage, and clinical information management with independent bedside devices and ancillary systems that are connected either directly or through networks. The eCareManager system provides patient information and surveillance of monitored patients at the point of care location and at a remote, supplementary care location through wide area networking technology and dedicated phone lines and is solely intended for use in a hospital environment. It is not intended to be used in a home environment.

  Three versions of software for the eCareManager failed to display anticoagulants on the medications screen. The problem arose due to an unexpected change in the National Drug Data File.

  DATEX-OHMEDA NETWORK AND ICENTRAL '05, SALES REVISION 4.3 ( Datek-Ohmeda Network and iCentral (including iCentral Client)) The Datex-Ohmeda Network and iCentral (including iCentral Client) transfers information between networked Datex-Ohmeda devices in the Monitor Network as well as between Monitor Network and networked devices in GE Unity NetworkTM. It also allows information transfer between several iCentrals. Within one Monitor Network it allows a networked device to display, store, print and otherwise process information received from other networked devices. The iCentral maintains the network connections between the Datex-Ohmeda bedside monitors and other networked devices in Monitor Network. Network connections consist of hardwired network cables and/or Wireless LAN (WLAN) connections. Furthermore, it coordinates the transfer of information between devices in the Datex-Ohmeda Network, between the Datex-Ohmeda Network and devices in GE Unity Network as well as between the Datex-Ohmeda Network and Hospital Information Systems (HIS). The iCentral can be used for remote monitor management, storing, printing, viewing, reviewing or otherwise processing of information from several bedside monitors or other networked devices. The iCentral Client can be used for remote monitor management, printing, viewing, reviewing or otherwise processing of information from several bedside monitors or other networked devices. The Datex-Ohmeda Network will be used for patients in the hospital and it is meant for continuous use. The device is for use by qualified personnel only.

  The iCentral or iCentral client v5.0.2 with HP xw 4400 and 4600 may spontaneously shutdown, causing monitoring loss at the central monitoring station. Monitoring loss may result in prolonged delay of treatment of potentially lethal arrhythmia.
