Intuitive surgical inc.(isi) received the wound retractor access port for failure analysis investigation.The instrument was analyzed and was found to have a broken latch of the chamber portion of the access port.A detached piece approximately 9.6mm x 6.6 in size was returned with the accessory.The complaint was confirmed by failure analysis.The probable root cause is attributed to damage during use, which may result from an accidental drop of the instrument or inadvertent collisions with other instruments or hard surfaces.This issue can be resolved by using an alternate instrument to complete the procedure.
