Intuitive surgical, inc.(isi) received the instrument involved with this complaint and completed the device evaluation.Failure analysis confirmed the customer reported failure.The instrument was found to have a broken pitch cable at the distal clevis hub.As a result, intuitive motion at the wrist was no longer being experienced.The broken cable segment that contains the crimp was still installed in the clevis.A device history record (dhr) review for this device was conducted and did not find any non-conformances that would affect any material of the final product and/or the quality or performance of the instrument.The customer reported complaint does not itself constitute an mdr reportable event; however, the broken pitch cable found during failure analysis could cause or contribute to an adverse event if the malfunction were to recur.
