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: 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: All EndoWrist SP surgical instruments and the camera must be covered
with sheaths designed specifically for use with the da Vinci SP System before
surgical use.
CAUTION: Always have a backup camera and instruments available to complete the
surgical procedure in case of failure.
CAUTION: Handle the camera carefully. The camera is delicate and can be broken if
dropped or struck. Adhere to the sterilization, inspection, and connection
requirements.
CAUTION: Handle the camera cable carefully. If bent sharply or kinked, it can
damage the internal fibers. Damage to the camera cable can occur through
repetitive actions during use in surgical or cleaning procedures. Such damage can
substantially reduce the amount of light transmitted through the cable.
