Intuitive Surgical recalls da Vinci 5 Surgeon Console Viewer Display units with outdated firmware that may cause loss of 3D surgical field, potentially leading to injury during robotic-assisted surgery.
Robotic-assisted surgical system has Viewer Display manufactured with outdated firmware, may result in loss of one display-loss of 3D surgical field (depth perception) but 2D maintained, or loss of both displays-complete visualization loss, without fault, instruments remain active, could lead to instrument contact with tissue, resulting in injury/bleeding; may require alternate surgical modality.
Intuitive Surgical is recalling da Vinci 5 Surgeon Console Viewer Displays that have outdated firmware. This could cause loss of the 3D surgical field, meaning the surgeon might lose depth perception during surgery, which could lead to injury or bleeding if instruments contact tissue.
The display uses outdated firmware that may cause the 3D surgical field to disappear completely, leaving only 2D vision. This loss of depth perception could cause the surgeon to lose control of instruments, potentially leading to injury or bleeding if instruments touch tissue during surgery.
Surgical teams using the da Vinci 5 system with the recalled display units are affected. Surgeons and surgical staff at hospitals or medical facilities using these specific models are most at risk.
Check for the part number 380730-45 on the display. The serial numbers listed in the recall include SQ0326 through SQ0470 and SQ0662, SQ0727, SQ0740, SQ0761. These units were sold with the da Vinci 5 system.
Look for the serial numbers listed in the recall: SQ0326 through SQ0470 and SQ0662, SQ0727, SQ0740, SQ0761.
Reach out to Intuitive Surgical for guidance on next steps if you have a recalled unit.
