Intuitive Surgical Recalls Fluorescence Imaging Procedure Kits for Missing Storage Info
Intuitive Surgical is recalling Fluorescence Imaging Procedure Kits because storage conditions for indocyanine green are missing from the packaging.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the hazard is a labeling omission that could lead to device malfunction (loss of fluorescence) rather than direct physical injury or death, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.
Plain-English summary
Intuitive Surgical, Inc. is recalling 1,532 Fluorescence Imaging Procedure Kits designed for use with Firefly Fluorescence Imaging for the da Vinci Si 3000 Surgical Systems. The recall was initiated because the storage conditions for indocyanine green (ICG) are not listed on the individual kit box, the six-kit box, or the shipping box.
The missing information creates a risk that heat could damage the material, resulting in a loss of fluorescence. The affected products were distributed nationwide.
Healthcare facilities should stop using the affected kits and contact Intuitive Surgical for further instructions.
