    Description of Event or Problem · 0

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING AN UNSPECIFIED DA VINCI-ASSISTED PROCEDURE, THE SURGEON OBSERVED THAT THE VESSEL SEALER EXTEND (VSE) INSTRUMENT, WHEN USED WITH THE E200 GENERATOR, PRODUCED UNRELIABLE VESSEL SEALS. THE SURGEON SPECIFICALLY NOTED A SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTER BIPOLAR ACTIVATION TIME, REQUIRING THREE ACTIVATIONS OF THE VSE INSTRUMENT PER COAGULATION TASK INSTEAD OF THE USUAL SINGLE ACTIVATION. THIS ADJUSTMENT RESULTED IN A SLOWER OPERATIVE PACE AND EXTENDED PROCEDURAL DURATION. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REMAINS UNKNOWN: WHETHER ANY AUDIBLE TONES WERE HEARD DURING THE VSE INSTRUMENT SEALING EVENTS, WHICH VESSEL WAS INVOLVED, WHETHER ANY BLEEDING OCCURRED, AND WHETHER ANY MEDICAL INTERVENTIONS WERE PERFORMED AS A RESULT OF THESE EVENTS. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN REQUESTED; HOWEVER, NO RESPONSE HAS BEEN RECEIVED.
