Why it was recalled

Specific da Vinci Xi EndoWrist Stapler 45 instruments are potentially impacted by a variation in the manufacturing process. In affected instruments, there is a possibility that the Stapler Release Kit (SRK) Wrench interface feature accessed through release hole 2 is manufactured to an incorrect dimension, which may prevent the SRK Wrench from being able to manually unclamp the instrument.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
