Intuitive surgical, inc.(isi) did receive the single port monopolar curved scissors instrument to perform failure analysis (fa).Fa was able to confirm/reproduce the reported the complaint.The instrument was found to have a broken instrument tube adapter.This component is located at the distal end of the instrument and serves as the interface between the instrument and the user-installed tip accessory.The broken piece was not returned and measures approximately 1.78 mm x 3.03 mm in size.The housing was removed and found no damage.The inputs were manually articulated and passed.The probable root cause of a damaged tube adapter is attributed to either tip accessory installation issues or damage during use.
