Additional Manufacturer Narrative

H10: the affected part was returned to livanova deutschland for a detailed investigation.During troubleshooting a visual inspection revealed extreme signs of wear, corrosion and rust on the external surface of the unit as well as on the internal surface.The failure was confirmed and traced back to clamp assembly, printed circuit boards (pcb) zka and zkb.Complaints database analysis revealed no similar event since unit installation in 2016.Based on the result of the investigation and considering the aging of the unit (2016), the root cause of the event was the wearing of clamp with the contribution of rust and corrosion probably due to fluid ingress during cleaning procedures.
