Intuitive Surgical, Inc. has recalled 144 da Vinci 5 Surgeon Consoles (Console Assembly: ASSY,DV5 CONSOLE,SSC,IS5000) due to a connector defect that causes the system to trigger "Error 23062." This error locks the positioning of the viewer, headrest, armrest, and pedal tray, making ergonomic adjustments impossible until the motor is replaced. While no injuries have been reported, this failure can lead to surgical delays, cancelled procedures, or the need to switch to an alternative surgical approach. Affected consoles were distributed nationwide across 30 states.
A faulty motor connector can cause the surgical console's ergonomic adjustments to freeze during use. This may force a surgeon to complete a procedure in an uncomfortable position or stop the surgery entirely to switch equipment, which increases the time a patient is under anesthesia and could lead to surgical complications.
Recall covers surgeon console assembly SSC, IS5000 and part number 380730-40 column motor connectors.
