Contact Information For Questions Mary Pat Sloan Senior Vice President Global Certification and Logistics SynCardia Systems, LLC 1992 E Silverlake Rd Tucson, AZ 85713 Direct 520-547-7470 Toll-free 866-480-1122 Ext 1308 Monday-Friday 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific/Arizona time Hotline 24/7 866-771-9437 www.syncardia.com On 10/27/16 customer notification letters were sent. The letter provided instructions on how to recognize the device could fail. The patient and caregiver will recognize that an affected Driver is failing because the Freedom Driver will stop pumping without generating any sound or any visual or audible alarms. When functioning, the Freedom Driver exhibits a distinctive pumping sound; when it stops pumping the lack of sound is noticeable. Generally, if the Freedom Driver function is interrupted, a visual and/or audible alarm will occur. However, as a result of this component failure, when affected Freedom Drivers stop functioning, there will be no visual or audible alarms, and no pumping sound. Actions to Be Taken by The Customer/User SynCardia has provided unaffected Freedom Drivers to the two hospitals to replace the affected 5000 series Drivers. All patients with affected Freedom Drivers have undergone the exchange and received unaffected Drivers. The hospitals have returned all the affected Freedom Drivers to SynCardia. The hospitals are requested to complete the Recall Acknowledgement and Receipt Form below and return to SynCardia.
