LivaNova Perfusion Tube Sets Recalled for Potential Sterile Barrier Breach

LivaNova is recalling Perfusion Tube Sets because included Medtronic display sets may have packaging pinholes that compromise sterility.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a potential sterile barrier breach in a medical device, which poses a risk of harm (infection) even though no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

LivaNova is recalling Perfusion Tube Sets (PTS) because they include Medtronic DLP Pressure Disposable Display Sets packaged in pouches that may contain small pinholes. These pinholes, approximately 1mm or less in diameter, create a potential sterile barrier breach in the display sets.

The affected display sets were distributed to customers as part of the LivaNova Perfusion Tube Sets. The recall is driven by the risk that the compromised sterile barrier could allow contamination of the medical devices.

Healthcare providers and patients should stop using the affected Perfusion Tube Sets and contact LivaNova or their supplier for further instructions on replacement or return.
