Intuitive Surgical, Inc. recalls da Vinci SP Instrument Arm Drape

Robotic-assisted surgical system arm drapes may detach from the instrument arm due to an issue involving the drape rings located at the top of the product, which may expose a section of instrument arm, which may result in procedure delay or conversion to an alternate minimally invasive approach. Retrospectively reported recall.
