A livanova field service technician was dispatched to the facility but was not able to reproduce the issue.The unit was inspected: mechanical/electrical checks and functional tests were performed as per tsi and successfully passed therefore the unit was released back to its expected functions.The serial readout of the centrifugal pump has been pulled out and analyzed revealing that no technical errors were stored around the time of the event (10:57 am on august 22, 2023).Based on the service activity and considering the serial read-out analysis, a hardware malfunction of the livanova pump can be ruled out.However, it cannot be excluded that the inability to generate a proper flow could be caused by any monitoring function activated during the procedure with still alarm condition on (e.G.Pressure alarm).The risk is in the acceptable region.No specific action was currently deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
