Reason for Recall

The product has a software interface problem. When the product is connected to the da Vinci IS2000 System it will not allow the System to recognize the Instrument which makes the IS2000 CPG instrument nonfunctional at all sites. Risks associated are loss of operability of the instrument, delay in surgery, and loss of dexterity.

Firm Action

On April 18, 2008 an Urgent Device Recall letter was issued to customers. Consignees were notified via e-mail and were instructed to return the product. Customers were instructed to segregate the product in a secure area for Intuitive Surgical CSRs. If you have any questions contact Karen Uyesugi at (408) 523-2100.
