Firm has received an increase in reports regarding inadvertent instrument lockout during surgical procedures involving the device. If lockout occurs, the device will momentarily activate but will not cut or staple tissue, and additional steps will be required to open it and remove it from tissue. If user is unable to remove the device from the tissue, potential harms to patient include surgical delay, bleeding/hemorrhage, life threatening hemorrhage/hemorrhagic shock, and conversion to open therapy. Two adverse events received, including one patient death.
