Intuitive Surgical, Inc. is recalling 47 units of the da Vinci 5 Surgeon Console Viewer Display due to outdated firmware. This software error can cause the sudden loss of one or both viewer displays during robotic surgery, potentially leading to a loss of depth perception or a complete loss of vision for the surgeon while instruments remain active. If this occurs, surgeons may need to switch to a different surgical method to safely complete the procedure.
The outdated firmware can cause the display to fail without warning, which may result in surgical instruments making unintended contact with patient tissue, causing injury or bleeding. While the surgeon's view is lost, the robotic instruments remain active, increasing the risk of surgical complications.
Firmware is outdated resulting in potential loss of 3D or 2D surgical field visualization.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
