A report received from a user facility in the (b)(6) stated that the surgeon had an issue with the irrigation function during a routine phaco+iol, vitrectomy & erm peel surgery.The surgery went well until almost at the end when performing an indented peripheral retinal search before closure.During the search, the eye suddenly went very soft and collapsed.The infusion setting was still on and the infusion bottle was checked which demonstrated there was still a quarter of a bottle of fluid left.The surgeon manually removed the infusion line and established that the infusion was not coming out of the line.We have not been able to collect any information regarding the patient's conditions due to patient confidentiality conditions.
