Based on the claim against the product by the site noting that the harmonic ace curved shears instrument was non-intuitive on patient side manipulator (psm) 1, an investigation was completed to determine the cause of this reported event.The reported event was addressed with phone support.The intuitive surgical, inc.(isi) technical support engineer (tse) reviewed the system logs and identified error 31009 pointing to an issue with the harmonic ace curved shears instrument and sterile adapter.The issue resolved after instrument replacement to the backup.No site visit was conducted.The system was working properly, and no additional action was required as the issue was resolved.Isi has requested the harmonic ace curved shears instrument for evaluation, but the instrument has not yet been received as of the date of this report.Therefore, the root cause of the customer reported failure mode has not been determined.A follow-up mdr will be submitted if the product is returned for analysis and/or if additional information is received.This complaint is considered a reportable malfunction due to the following conclusion: it was alleged that during a da vinci-assisted total pancreatectomy surgical procedure, the harmonic ace curved shears instrument intermittently exhibited non-intuitive motion.Unintuitive motion could lead to 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.
