Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The complained issue was the presence of extraneous material by the cardioplegia port inside the inspire oxygenator.The issue was identified at the packaging setup prior to any patient involvement.The complained oxygenator was returned livanova for investigation.Detailed visual inspection of the returned oxygenator, especially close to the cardioplegia port, could not identify any extraneous particle inside the oxygenator.Dhr of the batch did not highlight any issue possibly related to the claimed defect.Traceability of the batch shows that this is the unique part of a batch that has been complained for this issue.Therefore, it can be considered an isolated event.Accordingly, similar complaints showed no trend.It shall be noted that the complained oxygenator was returned with all connectors opened.It could not be excluded that the claimed extraneous material was movable and that it has moved outside the oxygenator during the returning to livanova for investigation.The likelihood of occurrence of the complained failure for the considered period is in line with what documented and accepted in the inspire risk management file according to livanova investigation, no issue could not be confirmed and no root cause could be assessed.As the occurrence of such kind of event is low and a clear root cause could not be assessed, no corrective action will be undertaken.Livanova will keep monitoring the market.
