After Disabling an Instrument Arm
After you disable an instrument arm, you still can use the arm clutch and port clutch buttons
to move the arm out of the way.
Disabling the Instrument Control Box (ICB)
In the event of an error specific to the ICB, the system presents the option to disable the ICB on
the touchscreen and touchpad. Once the ICB has been disabled, it can not be re-enabled until
the next power cycle. Intuitive Surgical designed this feature to allow a user to complete a
procedure without use of the EndoWrist instruments that employ the ICB, such as the Vessel
Sealer.
Non-Recoverable Faults
If a fault is non-recoverable, the system must be restarted. The following message is displayed:
Non-recoverable fault: XXXX
Restart System to continue.
Restarting the System During a Procedure
If a non-recoverable fault occurs during a procedure, you must completely remove all
instruments from the system. The endoscope does not need to be removed. Follow these
steps to restart the system:
1. Completely remove all instruments from the system. The endoscope does not need to be
removed. If an instrument is grasping tissue, follow the grip release instructions in
Chapter 9, Grip Release, on page 9-13.
WARNING:
If it is
not clinically possible to remove an instrument, closely monitor the
instrument arm during restart to ensure that no motion occurs.
2. Power off the system: Press the Powe
r button on any system component.
The system takes several seconds to shut down
. When complete, all system Power but-
tons will be lit amber, indicating standby mode, and readiness for restart.
3. Restart the system: Press the Pow
er button on any system component.
4. After the system has restarted successfully, then the instrument
s can be reinserted.
Note: During system restart, video is temporarily unavailable at the Surgeon Console
view
er and touchscreen monitor.
Note: If the fault cannot be cleared by a system restart, call Intuitive Surgical Technical
Support.
Emergency Stop
Press the red Emergency Stop button should it be necessary to stop system operation at any
time. The Emergency Stop button will cease robotic control of the instruments and
endoscope. The instruments and endoscope will stay in their last commanded position.
If the instrument grips are closed when the Emergency Stop button is pressed, the grips will
remain closed. However, the gripping force of the instrument may decrease.
Pressing Emergency Stop initiates a recoverable fault, which you can override by pressing
Recover on the touchscreen or touchpad. The Emergency Stop button illuminates when
pressed and remains illuminated until the fault is recovered.
