Reported risk: Philips has become aware of the following issues regarding the Heartstart MRX monitor/defibrillator: when the Heartstart MRX is in AED mode, the Q-CPR meter is designed to display the 'Do not touch the patient' icon during the shock advisory analysis period. If the user continues to deliver chest compressions when the shock advisory analysis begins, the 'Do not touch the patient' icon may incorrectly remain on the screen after analysis or shock delivery is complete. When the Heartstart MRX is in manual mode, the Q-CPR meter is designed to display the 'Do not touch the patient' icon when the device is charging to the selected energy. If the clinician continues to provide chest compressions while the device is charging, the Q-CPR meter 'Do not touch the patient" icon may incorrectly remain on the screen after shock delivery is complete.
