Manufacturer Narrative

Claimed part was not available for investigation, nor visual evidence of the connector was provided.Through follow-up communication, livanova learned that involved connection was the 1/4" line assembled on the suction inlet port of cardiotomy section.The failure was detected during blood collection phase.No patient injury and no additional medical intervention occurred.The same failure re-occurred with same circuit item code.Dhr review confirmed the circuit was released conforming to product specifications.Reservoir connections are 100% verified during circuit assembly and no deviation was recorded during manufacturing.The most probable root causes are: (i) an overpressure condition at the disconnection point; (ii) tubing not fully pushed on the hvr suction barb connector or (iii) moulding defect of hvr barb connector, not allowing a perfect coupling with tubing.The risk is in the acceptable region.No specific action was currently deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
