Final conclusion: investigation of the returned vfie module could not reproduce the complaint.The vfie module is functioning within specifications.The provided log files have been reviewed and there are no indications that could lead to a collapsed eye.Furthermore: the eva system controls the pressure of fluids or gases that can be provided using the system.It also controls the back flush.The eva system provides feedback to the surgeon on the device performance.The eva system is tested and compliant with iec 80601 medical electrical equipment part: 2-58:2015 particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of lens removal devices and vitrectomy devices for ophthalmic surgery.The eva system is a device for professional use only with the surgeon present and activating the device during the use.The device provides feedback on the performance of the system; the surgeon monitors the effect on the patient.There are no malfunctions of the device that are beyond the response (reaction time) of the surgeon.The surgical procedure with the use of the eva system can be stopped and restarted at any time during the surgical procedure to mitigate any degradation of performance out of specification.Therefor there is no unacceptable risk associated with the failure or degradation of functions or features of the lens removal devices and vitrectomy devices.Final comments from the manufacturer: the customer let us know that after the vfie module was changed for investigation reasons, several surgical sessions of phaco and two retinal sessions have been made without incident and the problem is considered solved.The replacement vfie module stays part of the machine concerned.
