A male patient underwent an aquablation procedure for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph).Procept biorobotics corporation (procept) became aware that post aquablation procedure, while the patient was being extubated, the patient lost their pulse.A code blue was initiated, and the patient received chest compressions.The patient was revived and taken into the pacu for additional testing and observation.Through a follow-up conversation with the treating surgeon on (b)(6) 2023, procept confirmed that there is no indication that the event was due to the waterjet resection of the prostate, and further investigation was being conducted to determine the origin of the event.On (b)(6) 2023, procept confirmed through the treating surgeon that the patient was admitted overnight for observation and discharged home the following day.An ekg (electrocardiogram), chest x-rays, and testing of troponin levels were conducted, which were all normal.The origin of the patient coding was determined to be possibly related to extubating post-anesthesia.No malfunction of the aquabeam robotic system was reported during this event.
