After present occurrence, even if issue was re-solved with pinpoint calibration, customer decided to remove from service current unit and replaced it.The unit was manufactured in 2015 livanova complaint database review revealed that one further similar issue on this evo serial number occurred in 2022, another similar occurrence on different evo and same hlm console occurred in march 2024.Accordingly customer reported he experienced a previous calibration issue that was solved with pinpoint calibration.No further information about involved evo has been provided, nor if the customer replaced on its own the evo on the unit after first occurrence.Based on all the gathered information, it is reasonable to assume that the error message was related to a calibration failure of the evo that must be performed before procedure.It cannot be ruled out that the most likely root cause for reported event is a drift in calibration, that may also be related to user rough manipulation of the part when setting the tubing and/or wrong tubing material used.The risk is in the acceptable region.No specific action was currently deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
