While the case was taking place there was an issue with the arthroscopy shaver in that there was no suction.We switched out the shaver hand piece and shaver tip.We continued to have issues with the second shaver.The shavers were not occluded.There was no issue with the disposable part.We later learned that the interface cable between the crossflow and the crossfire was not fully connected.The crossflow did not indicate a miss connection.Stryker has since updated the software in the crossflow from 1.07.02 to 2.00.09.The new software version will display an error message stating the cable is disconnected.The new error message is intuitive and would have alerted staff to the specific problem during the case.
