An intuitive surgical, inc.(isi) field service engineer (fse) was dispatched to the customer site to further investigate the reported complaint.The isi fse was not able to replicate the customer-reported error 23.The customer had the faulted surgeon side console (ssc) connected to another xi system for repair, so the system logs from the time of the initial incident were not accessible.The fse replaced the cfg remote arm controller (rac) as a precaution.The system was tested and verified as ready for use.Isi received the cfg rac part involved with this complaint and completed the device evaluation.Failure analysis investigation could not reproduce, however, confirmed the error via system logs.Remote logs showed 40 occurrences of error 23 during the 60 days prior to the rma creation date.The rac was installed on a printed circuit assembly (pca) test system which launched in maintenance mode to program software, then power cycled 10x and sine cycled for 5 minutes without an error.The system launched in normal mode and both mtms were utilized to manipulate the orientation of a known-operational endoscope installed on the universal surgical manipulator (usm) 2.As a preventative maintenance measure, the rac controller module (rcm) board will be replaced, contact grease will be applied to all ports and the low voltage differential signaling (lvds) connectors will be cleaned.A review of the site's complaint history does not show any additional complaints related to this product.No image or video clip for the reported event was submitted for review.A review of the site's system logs for the reported procedure date was conducted by isi technical support when the customer called for support.Investigation revealed multiple errors occurred during the surgical procedure that were related to the reported complaint.This complaint is being reported due to the following conclusion: during a da vinci-assisted surgical procedure, the surgeon was not able to take control of the left master tool manipulators (mtm) after docking.The issue was not resolved through troubleshooting so the site converted the procedure to another surgeon side console.System unavailability after the start of a surgical procedure could lead to the procedure being converted/aborted and may lead to an injury due to the patient¿s inability to tolerate a conversion/abortion.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.Blank mdr field information: follow-up was attempted, but the patient information was either unknown, unavailable, not provided, or not applicable.The expiration date is not applicable.The product is not implantable.It is unknown if the initial reporter.Submitted a report to the fda.
