Intuitive surgical, inc.(isi) received the 30 degree endoscope and performed a device evaluation.Failure analysis did not confirm or replicate the reported issue, but found the attached endoscope adapter to be missing.This complaint is being reported because a missing camera adapter could result 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.Follow-up was attempted to confirm that there was no patient involvement or to obtain patient information for sections a and b if a patient was involved.As of the date of this report, no additional information has been obtained.Device expiration date was left blank as this endoscope has 2,000 lives, which are tracked by the da vinci surgical system.This reported issue before what would have been endoscope's 205th usage and, therefore, had not expired.This report has been generated in response to fda inspectional observations dated 06-mar-2020.
