REASON
Some PAS-201 active speaker assemblies in use with the Philips IntelliVue Information Center (PIIC) have experienced intermittent audio or loss of audio. Speaker failures may delay recognition of an alarm condition, if operators do not recognize that there is no alarm sound from the monitor and the monitor is not connected to another audible alarm annunciation system.
