Intuitive Surgical (NSDQ:ISRG) today warned of the risk that small particulates could be introduced inside the heart during intra-cardiac procedures using its da Vinci Xi device.
Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Intuitive said it hasn’t received any reports of injuries related to the high-density polyethylene particles it turned up during quality inspections of its 5mm-8mm universal seal or the 12mm & stapler universal seal used with the da Vinci Xi. Intuitive said the particulate was found in the insufflation stopcocks used with the seals.
