LivaNova Inspire 6 Integrated Phisio OXY Recall for Incorrect UDI Expiration Date

LivaNova USA is recalling 42 units of Inspire 6 Integrated Phisio OXY devices because the expiration date in the UDI barcode is printed in the wrong format.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: This is a documentation and labeling issue where the physical package label is correct, and the hazard is limited to a formatting error in the UDI barcode, fitting the criteria for cosmetic or documentation issues.

Plain-English summary

LivaNova USA is recalling 42 units of Inspire 6 Integrated Phisio OXY w/ HVR Reservoir, Sterile EO, Catalog # 050713. The recall involves Lot 1709190228, which has an expiration date of 09/17/2020. The devices were distributed to the states of New Jersey, California, Minnesota, Missouri, and Massachusetts.

The recall was initiated because some integrated sterile INSPIRE family products contain an incorrect expiration date printed in the Unique Device Identification (UDI) barcode and the readable code beneath it. Specifically, the expiration date is reported as DDMMYY instead of the standard YYMMDD format. The expiration date printed on the applicable field of the package labels is correct.

The INSPIRE 6M Hollow Fiber Oxygenator and INSPIRE HVR Hardshell Venous/Cardiotomy Reservoir are intended for use in adult and small adult surgical procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. The oxygenator provides gas exchange support and blood temperature control, while the reservoir collects, de-foams, and filters venous blood. Both elements are intended for use for 6 hours or less.
