Manufacturer Narrative
|
Review of the logfiles revealed the occurrence of multiple pum90v error messages.This error message occurs if the vgpc is not connected or not properly connected to the unit.This issue could not be solvable if the connector is damaged/defective.Other error messages were observed as well but got resolved.It was recommended to test the unit properly to see if there are problems with the unit or if these errors might have been user errors.Unfortunately, the complaint cannot be further investigated nor confirmed as nothing was returned to d.O.R.C for investigation.Trend analysis indicates that the product is performing within anticipated rates.Therefore, no remedial or corrective/preventive actions will be undertaken at this moment.Complaints will be closely monitored to identify any significant adverse trends.All similar incidents related to the eva surgical system are included in the analysis (eva-defect-).Since 2020 more than (b)(4) surgeries have been performed with the eva surgical systems installed.Please note that the failure code eva-defect- will not always lead to a delayed surgery.Please note that while the 2023 incident numbers are up to date, the 2023 installed base figures are from (b)(6) 2023.As in general the installed base increases, the actual number of devices in the market most likely is slightly higher.
