LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- LivaNova PLC (Nasdaq: LIVN), a market-leading medical technology company, today announced that its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, LivaNova USA, Inc., is providing notice to U.S. patients regarding a cybersecurity incident that was initially disclosed by the Company on November 20, 2023.

The incident resulted in a disruption to portions of the Company’s information technology systems. Promptly after detecting the issue on November 19, 2023, LivaNova began an investigation with assistance from external cybersecurity experts and coordinated with law enforcement. The Company took action to remediate the issue, such as taking certain systems offline, and resumed manufacturing as previously disclosed.

While the Company is continuing to analyze the nature and scope of the affected information, the Company is aware that the information, which varied by impacted individual, included data such as name, contact information (e.g., phone number, email and postal address), Social Security number, date of birth, medical information (e.g., treatment, condition, diagnosis, prescription, physician, medical record number and device serial number), and health insurance information.

On April 25, 2024, LivaNova posted notice of this incident on its website. The Company is sending notice to affected U.S. patients for whom it has contact information. The Company’s notice of this incident includes information on how affected U.S. patients can enroll in complimentary identity protection and credit monitoring services.
