Manufacturer Narrative
|
There was no patient involvement.Livanova (b)(4) manufactures the electrical venous occluder (evo).The incident occurred in (b)(6).The clamp was received at livanova japan and there was no reproduction of the reported issue.After technical analysis of the reported issue, it was concluded the dashes were not referring to the % of clamp opening as reported initially and that dashes appeared near the "%" symbol, indicating that the clamp may have been unplugged or defective.Functional tests performed revealed that the clamp worked properly and no problem could be found suggesting a connection issue between the occluder and its panel.An issue impacting closing/opening functions cannot be completely excluded.Therefore, as a conservative approach, this is considered a reportable event.The evo control panel was checked and there was no abnormality.The connector between the panel and the occluder was reconnected.The nvmem (memory) of the clamp was cleared and calibration and closing force adjusted by flashing new software revision.Subsequent functional verification testing was completed without further issues and the unit was returned to service.If any additional information pertinent to the reported event is received, it will be provided in a supplemental report.
