Why these products were recalled

Multiple updates to User Manuals, Instructions for Use (IFU), Quick Reference Guides (QRG), and Instrument Release Kits (IRK) for use with the da Vinci Surgical System, instruments and accessories. Removal of the Emergency Grip Release Wrench, part number 710142.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
