LivaNova Perfusion Tube Sets Recalled Due to 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 medical devices, which poses a risk of harm (infection) but the source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

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, 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 being conducted by LivaNova following notification from Medtronic regarding the packaging defect.

Customers who have received these Perfusion Tube Sets should stop using them and contact LivaNova for further instructions. The source text does not specify specific lot numbers or distribution dates for the LivaNova products, though the associated Medtronic component is identified in the structured data.
