Sorin Centrifugal Pump CP5 Drive Unit missing electromagnetic shielding component

LivaNova is recalling four Sorin Centrifugal Pump CP5 Drive Units because a ferrite ring on the power cable may be missing. The units were distributed in Florida, Texas, and Nebraska.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class III recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a potentially missing electromagnetic shielding component that could theoretically affect device operation, but no actual malfunction has been confirmed. Per the rubric, Class III recalls are typically scored 1-2, and this precautionary recall warrants a score of 2 (Moderate).

Plain-English summary

LivaNova Deutschland GmbH is recalling four units of the Sorin Centrifugal Pump System, CP5, Drive Unit (Catalogue Item #60-01-04) due to a potentially missing ferrite ring on the power cable. The ferrite ring is a component designed to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The affected units are identified by serial numbers 60E03336, 60E03339, 60E03344, and 60E03347. These units were distributed for use in HLM S5/C5 System configurations, which are cardiopulmonary bypass speed control devices used during cardiac surgery.

If the ferrite ring is not present, the device could be susceptible to electromagnetic interference that may affect its operation. Hospitals and surgical facilities that have received these units should verify the presence of the ferrite ring or contact LivaNova for instructions.
