| Reason for the Action |
LivaNova received two complaints relating to reverse-flow (backflow) performance of the 3/16" one-way high-flow check valve in a total of six (6) sold units. The problem was detected during circuit set-up/priming, and the defective condition was identifiable prior to patient use; no adverse effects were reported.?
The one-way, high-flow check valve is intended as a safe measure against backflow and, more specifically, to prevent the potential ingress of air into the patient circuit in the event that an unexpected reverse flow occurs. Under certain conditions and in case of unintended line handling, an unexpected backflow may occur.
To date, no adverse events have been reported due to this problem. |
