Intuitive surgical, inc.(isi) received the zero degree endoscope involved with this complaint, the customer reported complaint was confirmed.The endoscope was received with mechanical damage to distal window assembly hermetic seal resulting in fluid invasion.Additionally, mechanical damage and or deep scratches to the ocular sleeve and shaft assembly were noted.Fragments of adhesive of the distal window were missing.No image or video was available for review.A review of the 0-degree endoscope (part number 370892-03/lot number sf1550506) associated with this event has not been performed as si endoscopes would not get captured by system logs.As a result, a tool usage log could not be performed to determine when the endoscope was last used during a procedure.This complaint is reportable malfunction event due to the following: the customer converted to another da vinci system due to blurry issue with a zero degree endoscope.While there was no harm or injury to the patient, system unavailability after the start of a surgical procedure could likely cause or contribute to an adverse event if it were to recur as it may lead to an injury due to the patient¿s inability to tolerate a procedure change.
