2What is the risk?

The agency's statement is shown without a site-authored severity score.

A retrospective review identified that there are AIC units requiring specific hardware updates to address potential safety concerns. These hardware updates have been implemented through Abiomed s servicing process; therefore, AICs that have not received service are pending these updates. Issue 1: The proximity of the internal Video Graphics Array cable to the Digital Signal Processor chipset on the Impellatronic printed circuit assembly could potentially result in Electrostatic Discharge coupling into the Digital Signal Processor which may interrupt motor controls. Issue 2: There is a potential for the Compact Flash Memory Card dislodgement due to external applied forces, which could result in AIC startup failures and data logging issues. Issue 3: Improper routing of the fan wire within the AIC could lead to fan wire damage, which may result in console boot-up failure. Issue 4: Potential capacitor related issues on the Power Battery Manager, including the potential for the capacitors to cause pump stop, purge stop, and/or single fan fuse failures.

Agency classification: Class I
