Manufacturer Narrative

Intuitive surgical, inc.(isi) received the endowrist sp camera involved with this complaint and completed the device evaluation.Failure analysis did not confirm the customer reported complaint.Visual inspection was performed and no damage was found.The camera was placed on the in-house system, and passed initialization with no issues.The camera passed all the quality assurance procedure (qap) testing.A review of the logs showed there was one 48406 error.Additional observations: visual inspection found the distal tip fibers with residual soil.The camera window was found with hard water stains.Visual inspection of the illumination fibers show epoxy delamination on one side.A piece measuring approximately 0.077" x 0.048" was broken off, and was not returned with the camera.A review of the device logs for the endowrist sp camera (part# 430060-35; lot/serial# (b)(4)) associated with this event has been performed.Per this review of the logs, the endowrist sp camera was last used on (b)(6) 2020 via system serial#: (b)(4).There were 5 uses remaining after this last usage.This last usage of the device was before the reported event date, indicating that the device did not pass recognition, or the issue was identified before installation on the reported event date.A review of the site's complaint history does not reveal any related or duplicate complaints involving this product and/or this event.No image, or video clip for the reported event was available for review.A system log review was performed, but no errors related to this event would exist in the logs.Based on the additional information obtained from failure analysis investigations, this complaint is being reported due to the following conclusion: if an endoscope with a compromised epoxy layer is used on the patient, epoxy fragments could fall inside the patient.The endowrist sp camera distal tip was re-inspected, and determined to have a piece of epoxy layer missing over the distal end fibers.At this time, it is unknown when the epoxy fragments may have fallen.While there was no reported harm, or injury to the patient, the reported failure mode could potentially cause, or contribute to an adverse event if it were to recur.
