The endoscope was or entered probably in contact with the skull edge, during free cooperative movements.The efforts measured by the force sensor has been interpreted by the system as a request of motion explaining the sensation of drift.It is normal behavior of the device.The ifu "rosa-041-2.5.8-c-en manuel d'utilisation rosa english" contains a warning that says: "do not use the fast speed when the endoscope is inserted into the patient head.The slow speed is more adapted for manipulating the endoscope inside the brain." during the drift, the surgeon was is medium speed, this is not the more adapted speed for an endoscopy.Plus, during an endoscopy, when the speed is not slow speed a message appears to warn the user that he has to be careful.The root cause of the event is usage of the free medium cooperative mode in endoscopy by the user.
