Analysis of the livanova complaints database identified no other analogue issue notified for the batch concerned from the market, neither similar events concerning trend has been identified.According to the review of similar events, the leakage instances from the bottom region of the bowl were traced back to an unexpected internal bowl pressure increase phenomenon possibly triggered by multiple factors such as: - accidental waste line occlusion by user - operating error during waste bag emptying/replacement - clot formation inside the bowl clogging the outlet blood flow path, due to peculiar blood conditions (prone to clot) or inadequate anticoagulant dosage.- centering issue of xtra bowl arm or stuck centrifuge bearings (temporary equipment failure) leading to an out-of axis bowl rotation taking into account the limited data currently available, however, the specific root cause of the bowl breakage event could not be determined.The risk is in the acceptable region.No specific action was currently deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
