3.1 Introduction
This chapter contains general instructions for use specific to the EndoWrist SP® instruments
(also referred to as instruments). The following sections provide general information such as
part numbers and device names, intraoperative information, and troubleshooting. Specific
information on individual types of instruments can be found in each specific instrument
chapter.
Intended Use
For intended use of the instruments and associated accessories, see
.
CAUTION: Endoscopic instruments are designed and manufactured for a specific
surgical function. Use of an instrument for a task other than that for which it is
intended may result in a damaged or broken instrument.
General Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Do not use instruments, cameras, or accessories that have been
reprocessed with single-use accessories installed. Inadequate sterilization may
occur when these single-use accessories, such as the MCS Tip, monopolar cautery
tip, sheath, SP Cannula Seal, or EntryGuide™ (also known as Entry Guide), are
installed during reprocessing.
WARNING: Unless it is stated, do not use EndoWrist SP instruments on cartilage,
bone or hard objects. Doing so may damage the instrument and make it impossible
to remove it from the SP Cannula.
WARNING: Do not grasp tissue with instruments not intended to grasp tissue, as
tissue injury may result. For example, do not grasp tissue with clip appliers, which
are made to hold and apply plastic ligation clips, or needle drivers, which are made
to hold metallic needles.
WARNING: The EndoWrist SP camera and instruments must be used with the
appropriate SP Cannula, SP Cannula Seal, and Entry Guide. Refer to Chapter
for details.
CAUTION: Handle instruments with care. Avoid mechanical shock or stress that can
cause damage to the instruments.
CAUTION: Prior to using compatible third party devices with the da Vinci SP System,
read all associated instructions for use.
CAUTION: Always have a backup camera and instruments available to complete the
surgical procedure in case of instrument failure.
