LivaNova SCP Pump Control Panel Recall: Risk of Stroke or Organ Damage
LivaNova recalls SCP Pump Control Panel REF 60-02-15 due to potential angle encoder failure causing stroke, organ damage, or arterial injury during heart surgery. Affected units have specific serial numbers and UDI codes.
The SCP control Panel rotary knob used to control rotary speed of the pump in the SCP system used as a centrifugal pump during cardiopulmonary bypass may be difficult or impossible to rotate as a result of premature wear of the angle encoder. The loss of function of the angle encoder during bypass may lead to ischemia, stroke, organ damage, arterial tissue injury or reperfusion syndrome.
