Event Description

According to the reporter, during a laparoscopic lobectomy, the powered handle was able to enter firing mode, but it did not fire and read an excessive reload on the screen.The same reload was connected to a manual handle but it did not fire either.Surgical time was extended for more than 30 minutes since the surgeon had to try several reloads.The procedure was converted to an open procedure due to difficulty with the tissue and patient anatomy.The surgeon used an open stapler to complete the case.No reload worked with either the powered stapler and manual handle.
