Event Description
|
A male patient underwent an aquablation procedure for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph).Procept biorobotics corporation became aware that during the aquablation procedural set-up, the aquabeam robotic system generated an "e22 - motorpack error" message, which could not be cleared.Despite troubleshooting with two (2) other aquabeam handpieces, the issue persisted.A fourth aquabeam handpiece was used, which successfully resolved the issue, and the aquablation procedure was completed successfully.It was reported that saline began leaking from the handpiece pump cartridge with the fourth aquabeam handpiece; however, that did not affect the procedure.The reported event caused a surgical delay of over 20 minutes.There were no adverse health consequences to the patient due to this event.

The aquabeam handpiece was returned for investigation.During functional testing, no errors were triggered.A review of the treatment log files confirmed occurrences of the "e22 - motorpack error", confirming the reported failure.The aquabeam handpiece was deconstructed and viewed under magnification.Fluid ingress was observed on the sensor board.The root cause of the reported error is undeterminable.A review of the device history record (dhr) ab2000-b / serial number (b)(6) and aquabeam handpiece / lot number 23c01200 was conducted, which confirmed that there was one (1) non-conformance issued to this lot during the manufacturing process that could potentially be related to the reported event.The affected units within the lot were segregated and reworked to address the non-conformance.The handpiece passed final inspection prior to release for distribution.The aquabeam robotic system user manual, um0104 rev.G, states the following: table 5: system detected errors and faults e22 - motorpack error release foot pedal and click x.1) if error persists, reconnect handpiece to motorpack.2) if error continues, replace handpiece.Submission of this report does not constitute an admission that the manufacturer's product caused or contributed to the event.
