A livanova field service representative was dispatched to the facility to investigate the device and could confirm the reported issue (ee6 in patient circuit).The circulatory motor was not working.The stirrer motor (contained in the patient bridge), the distribution board and the processor board were found to be faulty and were replaced.Subsequent functional verification testing was completed without further issues and the unit was returned to service.Complaints database analysis revealed no similar event since unit installation in 2019.The most probable root cause of the reported event is a non-free to spin pump motor, likely due to environmental conditions, as water infiltration, humidity, condensation or high temperatures, that required a power overload to work, which could have resulted in an overcurrent ultimately caused damage to involved boards.The risk is in the acceptable region.No specific action was currently deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
