Complaints database review pointed out no further issues have been submitted for this unit since its installation in 2023.In addition, no concerning trend has been detected for this specific issue.Based on the investigation performed for similar cases and considering that the unit was affected by: - residues of dried fluids on the shafts, which obstructed the movements and generated noise; - wear of the unit ball bearing, a common cause cannot be excluded.The exact root cause cannot be determined and most likely the issue is associated with the mechanical components of the clamp.The risk is in the acceptable region.No specific action was currently deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
