Intended Use
The Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic Instrument Control System (da Vinci Surgical System, Model IS5000) shall assist in the accurate control of Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic Instruments including rigid endoscopes, blunt and sharp endoscopic dissectors, scalpels, forceps/pick-ups, needle holders, endoscopic retractors, electrocautery and accessories for endoscopic manipulation of tissue, including grasping, cutting, blunt and sharp dissection, approximation, ligation, electrocautery, suturing, and delivery and placement of microwave and cryogenic ablation probes and accessories, during urologic surgical procedures, general laparoscopic surgical procedures, gynecologic laparoscopic surgical procedures and general thoracoscopic surgical procedures. The system is indicated for adult use. It is intended to be used by trained physicians in an operating room environment in accordance with the representative, specific procedures set forth in the Professional Instructions for Use.
Device Story
da Vinci Force Feedback Instruments (Mega SutureCut Needle Driver, ProGrasp Forceps) are 8mm multi-use endoscopic instruments for the da Vinci IS5000 Surgical System. Instruments feature articulating wrists for dexterity and force feedback sensors that transmit tip forces to console hand controls. Used by trained physicians in operating rooms to perform tissue manipulation (grasping, cutting, dissection, suturing). Subject device modification increases allowable surgical uses (from 1 to 4) and reprocessing cycles (from 3 to 6) compared to predicates. Surgeons view output via system console; force feedback enhances tactile awareness during procedures, potentially improving surgical precision. Device relies on system-level integration for control and feedback.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Reliability (life) testing conducted to validate increased surgical uses and reprocessing cycles. Testing included benchtop performance measurements, visual inspection, and functional performance evaluation of mechanical and sensor components at each cycle to ensure performance remains within specifications.
Technological Characteristics
8mm multi-use endoscopic instruments with articulating wrists. Features integrated force feedback sensors for haptic transmission to console. Compatible with da Vinci IS5000 system. Changes involve updated internal programming for cycle counting and revised reprocessing manual specifications.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients undergoing urologic, general laparoscopic, gynecologic laparoscopic, and general thoracoscopic surgical procedures. Contraindicated for use of force feedback needle drivers in hysterectomy and myomectomy due to vaginal bleeding risk.
