What happened

Intuitive Surgical is recalling approximately 42,274 da Vinci X/Xi EndoWrist 8mm Monopolar Curved Scissors (Model No. 470179-14) distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and multiple countries. The recalled instruments may develop cracks near the proximal edge of the extension tube, which could cause the plastic surrounding the instrument shaft to fracture and potentially shed fragments during use.

The hazard associated with this recall is that fragments of the extension tube could fall away from the instrument, and these fragments could potentially enter the patient's body during surgical procedures. The recall affects instruments with specific lot numbers manufactured during various dates between 2016 and 2017. The source document does not specify a remedy or corrective action for affected consumers.
