Additional Manufacturer Narrative
H10: through follow-up communication livanova learned that bubble sensor bladders worn out.Therefore, in order to solve the issue, the customer itself replaced the entire bubble sensor detector.Based on the information received, the issue is related to deflated bladders of bubble sensor which can result in over-sensing.In case of bubble sensor triggering false bubble alarms, the pump is stopped by the bubble alarm even if no air is present in the monitored line.In such situations, the alarm can always be cleared/overridden by user, once the line is verified to be free of air, and the perfusion can be easily restarted.Thus, it is unlikely that a false bubble alarm will result in patient serious injury or death.Therefore, the event has been re-assessed as not reportable.
