Through follow-up communication, livanova learned that the user was using an adaptor to combine the scp drive with a competitor disposable pump.Moreover, it has been reported that user did not reduce the rpms to zero to rule out decoupling of the drive motor/adapter plate/medtronic pump head.They also did not attempt to hand-crank.According to the user, there was an issue with the disposable adapter to connect the drive with the competitor pump or a user error.To rule out a livanova equipment malfunction, the hlm system, the cp5 panel and the scp drive unit has been checked by a trained biomed in charge and no issue was detected.Based on all the above facts, any livanova hardware malfunction on the equipment can be ruled out as the root cause of the event.It cannot be excluded that issues related to the circuit adapter or to the operating conditions (such as clottings) could have led to the observed decreased blood flow.The risk is in the acceptable region.No specific action was currently deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
