Intuitive Surgical da Vinci drape recalled for detachment risk

Arm drapes used with Intuitive Surgical's da Vinci SP robotic surgical system may detach from the instrument arm due to a defect in the drape rings at the top of the product. If a drape detaches during surgery, it can expose part of the instrument arm and may delay the procedure or require switching to an alternative surgical approach.

  • Check if your facility uses da Vinci SP Instrument Arm Drapes with part numbers 430013-13 or 430013-15 and the affected lot numbers listed in this recall.
  • Contact Intuitive Surgical or your equipment representative for instructions on inspection, replacement, or remediation.
  • Do not use drapes showing signs of loose or damaged rings.
Hazard

Robotic-assisted surgical system arm drapes may detach from the instrument arm due to an issue involving the drape rings located at the top of the product, which may expose a section of instrument arm, which may result in procedure delay or conversion to an alternate minimally invasive approach. Retrospectively reported recall.
