Event Description
|
On (b)(6) 2021, (b)(4) has received a report that during priming, the venous reservoir filled with water.During follow up communication with the customer, it was clarified that the issue was identified few minutes after starting recirculating water in the lilliput oxygenator connected with the heater-cooler.On (b)(6), it was clarified that the water was in the reservoir up to the roller.The issue was identified prior to any patient involvement.

The involved device has been requested for return to livanova for further investigation and it was not made available at the time of complaint closure.Dhr review has not pointed out any deviations or non-conformities relevant to occurred issue and no further similar complaints have been recorded for noticed product lot out of 300 total sold units worldwide.Based on the above facts and considering the current level of information, this behavior is compatible with a possible hole in the heat exchanger of the oxygenator.It cannot be ruled out that most probable root cause is a manufacturing failure that can't be detected through the 100% leak test.No other specific action was currently deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.H3 other text : device not returned.

Manufacturer Narrative

The complained oxygenator (body oxygenator and reservoir) was received at livanova for investigation.Visual inspection of the oxygenator revealed water droplet along venous reservoir internal surface.To investigate the claimed failure (after putting the oxygenator in the bracket and connecting the heater cooler hoses to the water ports, water was noticed in the reservoir), an integrity test was performed by connecting the claimed oxygenator to the heater cooler and allowing water to recirculate in the water compartment of the oxygenator.No water transfer to the reservoir could be observed: the device behaved as expected.Dhr review confirmed the oxygenator was released conforming to product specification.No other similar complaint has been recorded for complained oxygenator lot out of 300 total sold units worldwide.Since the claimed issue could not be reproduced, the root cause remains unknown.However, a possible explanation might be the condense formation inside the reservoir due to high thermal excursion between the temperature of the operating room and the temperature of the plastic surface of the reservoir.Livanova will keep monitoring the market for similar events.
