Event Description
|
The procedure was a shunt case and one trajectory.Surgeon and field service engineer were just making sure that the foot pedal would work, since this has been a reoccurring issue, so the patient hadn't yet been pinned or attached to the robot.The surgeon planned on doing contactless registration so he selected that option.The "boom, click" sound of the robot connecting to the controller was heard.Surgeon and field service engineer were then given the prompt on the screen to step on the foot pedal so the arm would go to the home position.When the surgeon stepped on the foot pedal/vigilance device the prompt came up that he had taken our foot off the pedal (not true) and then he cycled through the steps to try to move the arm.Surgeon and field service engineer couldn't resolve this issue.So they restarted the robot.They repeated these exact steps, plus additionally unplugging/replugging the vigilance device into the robot 4 times.None of the attempts worked.Surgeon and field service engineer came to the collective decision to not try again and proceed to the case without using rosa (possible in this situation).There was no medical intervention and there was no delay to the start of the procedure.
