H 11: the device was returned to manufacturer (livanova munich) for investigation.Prior to test run, no error could not be confirmed in the electronic venous occluder.Device was cleaned and disinfected, visual check was performed and no issue identified, technical safety inspection performed correctly, calibration and test run completed correctly.During complete procedure no error occurred.The device was manufactured in 2017 and a review of similar complaints revealed another event occurred in 2019.During that investigation the technician failed to reproduce the issue.Taking into account all the above facts and that the unit was found properly working by the authorized livanova field service technician, it cannot be ruled out that use condition at the customer site (e.G.Evo clamp not properly connected to its control panel, wrong tube material used) could have led to the reported event.The risk is in the acceptable region.No specific action was currently deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
