  • Notes supplémentaires dans les données
  • Cause
    When epiq 5 ultrasound system is set up to ‘metric’ and weight and/or height is entered, a unit conversion error may occur which results in the incorrect calculation of the patient’s body surface area (bsa). when using both height and weight to calculate the bsa which is the usual practice for patients above the age of 2 years an error factor of about 10 may be applied which would be readily identified by the user.Alternatively, when using weight only the bsa may be out by a factor of about 1.7 which is much harder to detect as a cardiac index calculated using that value may not be as obvious to the user. however it is highly unlikely that this type of calculation would be used for patients older than 2 years of age. therefore, the risk of this error occurring is greatest when the bsa is calculated using weight only in patients under 2 years of age.
  • Action
    Philips has corrected this issue in software version 1.3.3. which will be provided to users free of charge.
