H10: a livanova field service representative was dispatched to the facility to investigate the device and could not confirm the reported issue.Calibration by flash firmware was performed.Subsequent functional verification testing through long-term running was completed without issues and the unit was returned to service.Complaints database analysis revealed that no similar event on this device occurred since its installation in 2016.The reported malfunction can be caused by: an electronic venous occluder (evo) clamp harware issue; a faulty communication between the encoder board and the ribbon cable; an incorrect tubing size or material used by the customer.Based on technical service intervention, hardware malfunction can be excluded as cause of the event.It cannot be ruled out that an incorrect tubing size / material could have contributed to the reported event.
