It was reported that during a da vinci-assisted surgical procedure, the boom system would not power up.The intuitive surgical inc.(isi) technical support engineer (tse) had the site check the core power switch was on but there was no power to the core.The customer checked all power cords and switches but the issue persisted.The isi clinical sales representative (csr) called back and stated that the site had to bring in another core and illuminator from another tower to continue and complete the procedure with no further issues.There was no report of patient harm, adverse outcome, or injury.Isi followed up and obtained the following additional information: the csr stated the system was working at the start of the procedure but the issue occurred in the middle of the procedure.An isi field service engineer (fse) was dispatched to the facility and was able to reproduce the reported failure.The fse found no issues with the illuminator, however, since the core lost power, it causes the illuminator to shut off.To resolve the issue, the fse replaced the power tray assembly core and the system powered up.
