DEVICE HISTORY RECORDS (DHRS) REVIEW OF POSSIBLE INVOLVED DEVICE SERIAL NUMBERS HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY DEVIATION OR NON-CONFORMITY RELEVANT TO THE REPORTED ISSUE. NO DEVICE, BETWEEN THE ONES POSSIBLE INVOLVED AND IN USE AT THE HOSPITAL AT THE TIME OF SURGERY (2015), WAS UPGRADED WITH VACUUM AND SEALING KIT. NO FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS POSSIBLE. SOURCE OF PATIENT CONTAMINATION REMAINS UNKNOWN AND A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE REPORTED ADVERSE EVENT AND THE DEVICE COULD NOT BE ESTABLISHED. THE EVENT WAS IDENTIFIED THROUGH A RETROSPECTIVE REVIEW OF PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWSUITS. THROUGH THIS REVIEW, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A FEW EVENTS WHERE THE PLAINTIFF HAD FILED A SUIT AGAINST THE COMPANY, AND IT WAS HANDLED BY OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT, BUT THE UNDERLYING PRODUCT INFORMATION HAD NOT BEEN FORWARDED TO THE COMPLAINT HANDLING UNIT. LIVANOVA OPENED A CAPA TO IDENTIFY ANY POSSIBLE LAWSUITS THAT MIGHT REQUIRE COMPLAINT REPORTING AND TO RETROSPECTIVELY SUBMIT THOSE EVENTS THAT WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED AND TO PREVENT FUTURE SIMILAR ISSUES FROM OCCURRING.
