Description of Event or Problem · 1

IT WAS REPORTED THE STAPLER FIRED CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME, BUT HAD TO REVISE THE ANASTOMOSIS AS IT LOOKED A BIT DUSKY. WHEN CLOSING THE ENTEROSTOMY WITH THE DEVICE AFTER COMPLETING THE SIDE TO SIDE WITH THE CONVENTIONAL CUTTER, THE STAPLER DIDN'T FIRE ANY STAPLES USING A BLUE RELOAD. A NEW LOAD WAS PLACED AND ONCE MORE THE STAPLER DID NOT STAPLE. THE ANASTOMOSIS WAS REDONE WITH NEW DEVICE AND THE ANASTOMOSIS WENT FINE. THERE WAS NO PATIENT CONSEQUENCE.
