LivaNova Perfusion Tube Sets Recalled for Potential Sterile Barrier Breach

LivaNova is recalling Perfusion Tube Sets because the included Medtronic display sets may have pinholes, creating a potential sterile barrier breach.

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) but the source text does not report any actual illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

LivaNova is recalling Perfusion Tube Sets (PTS) because they include Medtronic DLP Pressure Disposable Display Sets that may be packaged in pouches with small pinholes. These pinholes, approximately 1mm or less in diameter, may result in 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 source text does not specify the number of units affected, the specific distribution locations, or any reported illnesses or injuries associated with this recall.

Healthcare providers and patients should stop using the affected Perfusion Tube Sets and contact LivaNova or their medical device supplier for further instructions on how to return or replace the products.
