5.1 Introduction
The EndoWrist SP Monopolar Curved Scissors is a multiple-use endoscopic instrument that is
used with a single-use Monopolar Curved Scissors Tip (MCS Tip).
General Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Connect instrument tips and cautery cords (monopolar and bipolar) only
when the energy is off. Failure to do so may result in an injury or electrical shock to
the patient or operating room personnel.
WARNING: Do not re-use or re-sterilize the MCS Tip.
WARNING: Failure to install the MCS Tip properly may result in:
• Imprecise tip movement
• MCS Tip falling off
• Electrical arcs and alternate site burns
WARNING: Use care not to twist the MCS Tip when carefully cleaning the Monopolar
Curved Scissors intraoperatively. Twisting may cause the MCS Tip to loosen.
WARNING: If damage or other flaws are observed on the instrument, do not use the
instrument. Contact Intuitive Surgical Customer Service. In the U.S., call
+1.800.876.1310. Examples of damage include:
• Cracks, deformations, or burn marks on the tip connector
• Bends or scratches of the instrument shaft
• Broken or frayed cables
• Broken cautery cord interface
CAUTION: The EndoWrist SP Monopolar Curved Scissors instrument must always be
used in conjunction with the MCS Tip.
CAUTION: If the MCS Tip becomes loose during use DO NOT use another instrument
to remove the accessory inside the patient. Close the MCS blades, remove the
instrument from the SP Cannula, and replace the MCS Tip with a new one.
