Reason

Philips has become aware that certain oximetry modules may have been incorrectly assembled. The effect on performance when these wires are crossed is that when a low SPO2 value is measured, a high SPO2 value would be displayed on the monitoring device. Additionally, in the same oximetry cable, when a high SPO2 value is measured, a low SPO2 value would be displayed on the monitoring device.
