Manufacturer Narrative

Through the follow-up with the customer, livanova has learned that the connection that disconnected during the case is manually assembled by the customer to the outlet of a competitor oxygenator and secured with a tie band.No photographic evidence not any video of the even was provided.The unit was not made available for return and therefore no physical investigation on the unit could be performed.The dhr review confirmed that the lot was released conforming to product specifications.The analysis of the livanova complaints database revealed that no other similar complaint relevant to this circuit catalog item has ever been received.Based on all the above facts, it cannot be ruled out that a suboptimal connection by the customer might have contributed to the reported event.However, overpressure condition at the oxygenator outlet or a deviation in the chemical characteristics of the tubing could not be completely ruled out.The risk is in the acceptable region.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
