Why these products were recalled

Intuitive Surgical has become aware and further investigation has determined that misinterpretation of instructions provided on the IS4000 Stapler Release Kit instruction card may result damage of the tool.

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.
