Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
H11: through follow-up communications, it was learned that the device was returned to manufacturer: the issue was reproduced and confirmed.Due to the aging of the device, repair was not recommended and device was scrapped.A device service history review has been performed and identified that the unit was manufactured in 2017 and two similar events have been reported in the past.Based on the investigation findings and device history review, the most likely root cause of the reported event is a blocked spindle, probably due to dried fluid residues accumulated over time due to improper cleaning of the device.The risk is in the acceptable region.No specific action was currently deemed necessary.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
