Manufacturer Narrative

Based on the claim against the product by the customer noting a 0-degree endoscope was broken, an investigation was completed to determine the cause of this reported event.Intuitive surgical, inc.(isi) received the endoscope to perform failure analysis.The 0-degree endoscope was analyzed and found to be missing the aea retaining ring.No error was found in log or at qap.The desiccant container had damage and there were loose desiccant balls.Cable damage was noted in zone c.There was artifact found in right and left eyes.The complaint regarding a 0-degree endoscope was broken was confirmed by failure analysis, which indicates that the device did contribute to the customer reported issue.The probable root cause is attributed to the manufacturing.This complaint is being reported due to the following conclusion: failure analysis acknowledges that the 0-degree endoscope was found with a dislodged camera instrument adapter (aea) component.A dislodged camera adapter results in poor camera control, which could result in unintuitive motion and subsequent tissue damage.While there was no harm or injury to the patient, the reported failure mode could likely cause or contribute to an adverse event if it were to recur.
