    Reason

    Medtronic HeartWare HVAD System Instructions for Use (IFU) and Patient Manual (PM) updates regarding: Carrying Cases, Driveline Cover Orientation, and Controller Power Up Sequence issues. The PM is being updated to clarify use of the support strap and wear instructions in addition to cleaning instructions of the carrying cases. The IFU and PM are being updated to add a useful life for the carrying cases. The PM is being updated to inform users to keep the driveline cover on when disconnecting and reconnecting the driveline. The IFU and PM are being updated to clarify the power-up sequence that causes the alarm indicator LEDs and both sets of battery LEDs to turn red for 2.5 seconds while the LCD displays the power-on message. NOTE: this update is included in the February 2021 Urgent Medical Device Notice also covered in recalls 87603 and 87604
