What to do now
Philips will be releasing a software correction for this issue. Philips will be contacting customers when the software is released. In the interim, customers are advised to refer to the steps provided in the Customer Letter (supplied to impacted users by Philips) until the updated software is installed on the device. Infant/Pediatric EFS Calibration Pressure Increase If you are using the infant/pediatric EFS, do not perform a manual circuit calibration. Instead, use the default calibration. The pressure increase will not occur if the default circuit calibration is used. Pressure Drift (Continuous Usage) If a pressure drift is detected, the decision to reset the device and return to its original, intended settings MUST be made in consultation with a clinician. Take steps to support the patient during a brief interruption in therapy, as needed. For further information, consumers should contact Philips Customer Care Centre by phone on 1800 251 400.
