Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
Intuitive surgical, inc.(isi) received the da vinci product to perform failure analysis.The small horizon clip applier instrument was analyzed and found to have one broken grip cable at the proximal end in the housing.The grip cable was broken around the clamping pulley.There was no evidence of discoloration or corrosion/contamination on the cables to indicate a reprocessing induced issue.The components surrounding the broken cable did not exhibit abnormal sharp edges or damage that would have contributed to the cable breaking.Common causes of broken - proximal instrument grip cables are attributed to damage to the cable during use or during reprocessing.
