A. Intellivue Information centre IX - software

Reason

Philips has become aware that when HL7 lab messages are sent to a PIIC iX system that has been localized for comma delimiters, the lab result is incorrectly displayed on the bedside monitor. An expected delimiter is stripped from the lab value and the number shown is of a higher magnitude than expected. If lab results are incorrect, a clinician may initiate incorrect treatment or delay necessary treatment this problem only happens when the PIIC iX is configured during set up for regional settings where the delimiter is a comma. The lab option must be in use, and the workflow utilizes the automatic lab interface displayed at the bedside monitor.
