The devices named in the notice included the Da Vinci Si Vision System Cart, Si Surgeon Side Cart, Instrument Control Box and Dual Camera Controller. The issue required that 30 products be retested in the field, and none of the devices have been the subject of any complaints, Bloomberg.com reported.
According to Alonso Krangle LLP, this is the second time in less than two months that Intuitive Surgical issued a safety notice regarding devices used with the Da Vinci Surgical System. On May 8th, the company sent its customers a notice regarding EndoWrist monopolar cauterizing scissors that had the potential to cause surgical burns in some patients. Those devices have been redesigned, and replacements are being shipped.

On May 30th, an FDA inspection of Intuitive Surgical’s California headquarters prompted the agency to cite the company for, among other things, failing to inform the FDA of a warning sent to customers in October 2011 regarding problems with the robot. According to the FDA’s 483 letter, Intuitive Surgical’s 2011 warning was sent after it received 184 complaints regarding an issue which had resulted in Da Vinci surgery complications in some patients.

26 Da Vinci Robot Lawsuits Pending
On April 19th, Intuitive Surgical disclosed that it had been named in 26 Da Vinci robot lawsuits, all of which allege that negligence on the part of the company resulted in serious Da Vinci robot injuries. According to an article published by Bloomberg.com in March, those reports include some 70 deaths among da Vinci patients since 2009. In January, the FDA began surveying doctors to determine if an increase in reports of Da Vinci injuries was a signal that there could be a problem with the technology, Bloomberg.com said.
