It was reported that during a da vinci-assisted partial nephrectomy surgical procedure, after the kidney was unclamped and the beginning of the reconstruction was occurring; repeated recoverable 48100 faults occurred.The fault remained even after troubleshooting with dvstat and rebooting the system and completing a hard cycle power.Since the needle driver instrument was holding a needle the instrument release kit (irk) was used to safely remove it which is why the instrument is being returned.The surgeon made the decision to convert the procedure to traditional laparoscopic techniques with no reported injury.The prograsp forceps instruments are multiple-use endoscopic instruments with a grasping tip to be used in conjunction with the da vinci system.The instrument is designed to grab, manipulate, retract, and dissect tissue during a da vinci assisted surgical procedure.
