H10: a follow-up with the livanova field service representative, who conducted the repair, revealed that liquid residues, identified as priming solution, were found in the pump head.Traces of fluid were also discovered on the printed circuit board (pcb) within the pump housing.Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that a tubing rupture occurred in the pump raceway (pump head) during the priming phase, causing a few drops of liquid to leak into the pump housing.Based on the information collected, root cause of the reported event was most likely due to liquid residues, found during technical intervention on the internal boards and in the pump housing, that caused a temporary electrical failure of the pump, definitely fixed during field service activity.
