Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
Intuitive surgical, inc.(isi) received the da vinci product to perform failure analysis.The fenestrated bipolar forceps instrument was analyzed and found to have a derailed grip cable from its normal position at the grip input disk in the proximal housing.A visual inspection of the backend found no evidence of a cracked clamping pulley, input disk, or input shaft that would have caused the derailed cable.The probable root cause is attributed to a loss of cable tension which may have resulted from a stretched cable due to an unknown cause.
