Plain-English summary
Intuitive Surgical, Inc. is recalling 1,034 units of the Wall chart for the EndoWrist Stapler 45 System, intended for use with the da Vinci Si Surgical System (IS3000). The affected wall charts are identified by part numbers PN 410298-05, -06, -07, -08, and -09. These products were distributed nationwide.
The recall was initiated because the wall charts were found to be inconsistent with the User Manual Addendum regarding the necessary sterilization dry time. Specifically, the wall chart (PN 551524-03 Rev A) did not match the sterilization dry time specified in the User Manual Addendum (PN 550986-07_B). This discrepancy could lead to improper sterilization procedures if the wall chart is relied upon exclusively.
Healthcare facilities and users of the da Vinci Si Surgical System should stop using the affected wall charts and contact Intuitive Surgical for instructions on obtaining the corrected documentation. This recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating that use of the product could, in some cases, cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences.
