Visual inspection of the returned pack indicated this pack was not used since not even priming residues were present.Visual inspection of the returned pack found the main arterial tubing (luge tubing) had two indents and a kink.All three issues appeared to be caused by other components pressing against the line, during sterilization and shipment, causing the indentations.Based on the description we should probably look at adding a shelf over the luge tubing to prevent any of the components causing imperfections on the tubing.The dhr review the lot was released conforming to product specifications.Review of the livanova complaint database identified a previous event involving the same item catalogue circuit (1718850-2023-00032).Livanova is evaluating to optimize the circuit pack configuration to prevent the above tube damage.Based on the above, it cannot be ruled out that the reported event was caused by a sub-optimal package configuration caused by the interaction of the tubing with other components during sterilization/transport.The risk is in the acceptable region.No specific action was currently deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
