Intuitive Surgical, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, by letter on October 4, 2007 and e-mail on October 5, 2007. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON
Under-Rated Fuses--The Firm may have installed incorrect fuses. The daVinci Surgical System Vision Cart's isolation transformer requires a 10A fuse for 115V operation or a 5A fuse for 230V operation. Operation of this product with the use of an under-rated fuse will result in failure of the fuse and a loss of power to the vision cart, including the loss of power to any ancillary equipment that may be connected to the vision cart isolation transformer.
