Visual inspection of the provided photos confirmed the split in the tubing.The complained tubing was never returned for investigation.Based on the review of the livanova database, no other similar complaints has been recorded neither for this customized circuit, nor for this specific tubing lot.No concerning trend has been detected for this kind of failure.It cannot be excluded that an initial defect in the tubing, such as a cut or puncture, was present and went undetected and propagated during use under compression in the roller pump.No definitive conclusion can be drawn on the root cause of the defect and on when it may have been caused, either at manufacturing or at customer's site.The risk is in the acceptable region.No specific action was currently deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
