Intuitive surgical, inc.
(isi) received the endoscope involved with this complaint and completed the device evaluation.
Failure analysis confirmed the reported issue.
The camera was found to have a cut in zone b of the cable jacket.
There were additional findings not reported by site.
The camera was found to have several deep scratches on the housing, the retaining ring was missing from the endoscope adapter, and mechanical damage was found on the cable ferrule.
Review of the error log found that the scope generated error code (b)(4).
This complaint is being reported because the endoscope adapter retaining ring was missing, which could result in poor camera control leading to un-intuitive 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.
The product is not implantable; it is unknown if the initial reporter submitted a report to the fda.
