With regard to this reported, only a complaint form was received.Unfortunately no product or logfiles were available for investigation.Two warning messages were prompted by eva as included in the complaint form: "the foot pedal is not in a horizontal position.Please ensure the pedal is in horizontal position" and "an undefined horizontal position of the pedal is detected.Please make sure the turning knob is centered".These warning messages are triggered by the eva surgical system when the pedal is not in horizontal position (e.G.By picking it up) and the pedal's turning knob is not centered.Review of the complaint database indicated that no similar events were reported on this eva surgical system.In case malfunction of the pedal can be ruled out as potential cause of the event, the reported event is most likely related to an unintended use error.Recently, we were informed that the related pedal will be returned for investigation, therefore the investigation into the cause of the event will continue after the product has been received.No corrective or preventive actions can be implemented until the investigation has been completed.The device has not yet been returned for investigation yet.Reminders have been sent and the a confirmation has been recieved that the product will be returned for investigation.The investigation will be completed after the device has been received.
