Manufacturer Narrative

Patient information was not provided.Livanova (b)(4) manufactures the centrifugal pump system with tubing clamp.The incident occurred in (b)(6).Based on current level of information, the reported adverse event was solely due to an user error in powering off the centrifugal pump and is not related to any device malfunction.In addition, based on provided information, it is very likely that the patient lost consciousness due to the kink of cannula impacting return flows and not to the power off of the pump which reportedly was immediately turned back on by the user.A review of complaints database revealed that no further events of users accidentally switching off the centrifugal pump system have been reported so far, indicating that there is no trend or pattern for this type of event and that there is no relationship between the reported incident and livanova equipment.If any additional information pertinent to the reported event is received, it will be provided in a supplemental report.No service request received from the customer.Device did not malfunction.

Event Description

Livanova received a medwatch report mw5106649 stating that the np had his hand on the scp centrifugal pump and inadvertently flipped the power switch to off.The pump was immediately turned back on but the patient began immediately to lose consciousness.Reportedly the pump was then moved to hand crank to restore flows since the patient had slouched down and his return cannula was kinked off which delayed the flows.Once the kink was fixed, the flows were restored and the patient regained consciousness.The patient did not require cpr and had no recollection of the event.It was reported that the switch of the scp centrifugal pump was taped to the on position with a tongue depressor.
