Why it was recalled

IFU and Patient Manual updated to describe HVAD Controller Connection Verification. The labeling is being corrected to reflect the actual verified behavior of a successful connector to the controller, which is a "beep" and not "audible click", to clarify under what alarm conditions a beep will not be heard, and identify alternate confirmation methods (visual indicator) for successful connection. NOTE: this update is included in the February 2021 Urgent Medical Device Notice also covered in recalls 87456 and 87603

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
