Livanova received a report regarding a blood leakage caused by the "hemocon" tube breakage during its usage with s5 double roller pump.The issue occurred during the procedure and did not affect the patient.The s5 double roller pump unit was sent back to livanova.The field service technician tested the unit as per specification without finding any failure: no sharp points were found on rollers and tubing guide rollers, the movement of rollers and tubing guide rollers were smooth and no sticking was detected, the functional test found no deviation and the unit was put back into service.Review of the livanova complaints database did not identify any other similar event since unit installation in 2017.Based on the investigation results, the most likely root cause of the reported issue can be traced to the "hemocon" disposable tube (not livanova device) or to an over occlusion set by the customer (user error).Reportability decision change to not reportable event based on the fact that livanova device did not contribute to the reported tubing rupture and can be excluded as cause of the event.The risk is in the acceptable region.No corrective action is deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
