Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that the event occurred during a robotic laparoscopic radical prostatectomy procedure, when the patient was in the operating room and under anesthesia.Shortly after docking, when trying to insert the monopolar curved shears onto arm 4, it was blocked inside of the trocar.The monopolar curved shears was detached and reattached, but it did not change anything.Looked as if there was something blue inside of the trocar.The shears were withdrawn and the trocar was taken out of the patient.Tried to free the cannula from the blue part it had inside but with no success.A new single use trocar was used to continue with the procedure.The seal of the trocar seemed to be intact.Later, the bipolar maryland forceps were not recognized.The sterile interface module (sim) was detached from the arm while making sure the sterility was preserved, and then reattached.The bipolar maryland forceps were then recognized.Then an instrument error occurred during the preparation of the prostate at one hour and twenty-five minutes.The bipolar maryland forceps were removed from the patient, detached from the sim, reattached and reinserted.At one hour and thirty minutes there was another instrument error.Changed the sim to a new one, but this did not solve the instrument error.The bipolar maryland forceps were then changed to another one and there were no issues after.When the monopolar curved shears were placed on arm 4 at one hour and forty minutes, during the prostate preparation, there was an instrument error alarm.The shears were withdrawn from the patient, detached, reattached and then worked for the rest of the procedure.There was no patient injury.
