During a robotic procedure, the circulator stated the surgeon wasn't happy with the way the gas was being evacuated out of the patient so they took two of these smoke evac devices and hooked it up to two different trocars.During the use of this device the circulator went to change the gas tank and this device sucked out all the gas inside the patient, leaving the robotic instruments and light source to the scope on which could potentially harm the patient.As the stomach was deflated, there was a concern if the patient could have been burned due to inability to see inside the patient when stomach was deflated too quickly by the device.The representative of the company was notified about the use of this new product as there was not a proper in service on the use of the device.
