H10: the affected part was returned to livanova deutschland for a detailed investigation.The investigator could not reproduce the reported issue: the device was tested several times and no error was found.Subsequent functional verification testing was completed without issues and the unit was returned to service.Since no malfunction/error was highlighted, a hardware failure can be ruled out.However, it cannot be excluded that a temporary loose connection between the clamp control board and the rotor may have led to the reported issue, which was fixed during service activity by re-establishing connections before functional test.
