Description

daVinci X EndoWrist(R) Stapler 45, REF 470298 Product Usage: The Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist Stapler 45, Stapler 45 Reloads, and other Stapler Accessories (including the bladeless obturators) are intended to be used with the da Vinci Surgical System (Model IS4000) for resection, transection, and/or creation of anastomoses in General, Thoracic, Gynecologic and Urologic surgery.

Reason

Specific da Vinci Xi EndoWrist Stapler 45 instruments are potentially impacted by a variation in the manufacturing process. In affected instruments, there is a possibility that the Stapler Release Kit (SRK) Wrench interface feature accessed through release hole 2 is manufactured to an incorrect dimension, which may prevent the SRK Wrench from being able to manually unclamp the instrument.
