    THIS EVENT INVOLVED A BIVAD PATIENT WHO EXPERIENCED A VAD STOP CONDITION WITH THEIR CONTROLLER APPROXIMATELY THIRTEEN MONTHS POST HEARTWARE VAD IMPLANTATION. THE PATIENT'S CONTROLLER DEMONSTRATED LOW ESTIMATED FLOWS AND HIGH POWER CONSUMPTION. THE PRIMARY CONTROLLER WAS EXCHANGED WITH THE BACK-UP CONTROLLER. HOWEVER, THIS BACK-UP CONTROLLER DID NOT RE-START THE PUMP. THE HOSPITAL REPLACED BOTH OF THE PATIENT'S CONTROLLERS FROM THEIR STOCK AND THE PUMP WAS THEN RE-STARTED.
