Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events [Text Block]	Subsequent Events Effective October 19, 2015 , following the completion of the Mergers, LivaNova became the holding company of the combined businesses of Cyberonics and Sorin , and LivaNova’s ordinary shares were listed, under the ticker symbol “ LIVN ”, on NASDAQ and the LSE. Prior to the Mergers, shares of Cyberonics common stock were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and listed on NASDAQ, and Sorin Ordinary Shares were listed on the Mercato Telematico Azionario organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (the “Italian Stock Exchange”). Shares of Cyberonics common stock and the Sorin ordinary shares were suspended from trading on NASDAQ and the Italian Stock Exchange, respectively, prior to the open of trading on October 19, 2015. NASDAQ filed a Form 25 on Cyberonics’ behalf to provide notice to the SEC regarding the withdrawal of shares of Cyberonics common stock from listing and to terminate the registration of such shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The issuance of LivaNova ordinary shares in connection with the Mergers was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-203510), as amended, filed with the SEC by LivaNova and declared effective on August 19, 2015. Further, pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act, LivaNova is deemed to be a “successor” issuer to Cyberonics under the Exchange Act. As such the ordinary shares of LivaNova are deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and LivaNova is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Based on the relative voting rights of Cyberonics and Sorin shareholders immediately following completion of the Mergers and the premium paid by Cyberonics for Sorin ordinary shares, and after taking into consideration all relevant facts, Cyberonics is considered to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. As a result, future quarterly filings on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K will account for the Mergers as a reverse acquisition and the Mergers will be reported as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. As a result of the Mergers, on October 19, 2015 , LivaNova issued 48.8 million ordinary shares. KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) was the independent auditor that audited Cyberonics’ financial statements for the fiscal years ended April 25, 2014 and April 24, 2015. In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, on October 19, 2015, the Audit & Compliance Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of LivaNova’s board of directors approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. (“PricewaterhouseCoopers”) as LivaNova’s independent registered public accountants to audit the financial statements of LivaNova and its consolidated subsidiaries for the transitional fiscal period beginning April 25, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2015, such engagement to be effective immediately. Accordingly, the Audit Committee of LivaNova’s board of directors will dismiss KPMG as the independent registered public accountants of Cyberonics upon completion by KPMG of its review, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, applicable to the interim financial information of Cyberonics to be included in the Transition Report on Form 10-Q to be filed by LivaNova with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the period beginning on April 25, 2015 and ending on October 18, 2015. On September 8, 2015, the LivaNova Board of Directors also entered into a service agreement with Vivid Sehgal, effective October 19, 2015, pursuant to which Mr. Sehgal became the Chief Financial Officer of LivaNova. On October 19, 2015, the LivaNova Board of Directors entered into a service agreement with André-Michel Ballester pursuant to which Mr. Ballester became LivaNova’s Chief Executive Officer, effective October 19, 2015.
