Event Description
|
During surgery, but prior to first incision, the instrument holder (mt-02-158 s18108) could not be placed onto the end of the robot arm by the surgeon.Upon further inspection, there appeared to be notches/grooves around the center inset circle that fits onto the robot arm.The instrument holder had to be filed down around this circle inset in order to get the instrument holder to sit flush onto the robot arm.It was determined that the robot arm had no issue as the pointer probe and laser attachments sat flush with no force needed.The process of getting the instrument holder attached to the robot arm delayed surgery by 30-45 minutes while the patient was under anesthesia.
