DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
Introduction
The da Vinci Si System has three main components requiring electrical power: the Surgeon
Console, the Patient Cart, and the Vision Cart. To ensure optimum performance, make sure
each component of the da Vinci Si System is connected to a dedicated, noise-free and
well-grounded AC power outlet.
CAUTION: To avoid overloading circuits, all three components—Surgeon Console,
Patient Cart and Vision Cart—must operate on separate, dedicated power circuits. Do
not connect ancillary devices such as insufflators or energy devices through any system
component, particularly not through the Vision Cart because it has large power
requirements. Ancillary devices must be connected to wall outlets on separate circuits
from all system components.
A label on the rear of the Vision Cart reinforces this caution. Its text appears below the label
image.
“Vision Cart requires dedicated circuit. Do not connect auxiliary
equipment to the circuit powering the Vision Cart.”

Introduction
CAUTION: Although the da Vinci Si System is safe and reliable, anatomical
characteristics of a patient may preclude using minimally invasive techniques.
Environmental or equipment failures may cause the da Vinci Si System to be unavailable.
The surgical team should always have backup equipment and instrumentation
available, and be prepared to convert to alternative surgical techniques. The potential
risk of such conversion should be communicated to the patient.
Endoscopic Procedure Precautions
Only physicians having adequate training and experience with endoscopic techniques should
perform endoscopic procedures with the da Vinci Si System. Medical literature should be
consulted regarding techniques, complications, and hazards before performing any
endoscopic procedure.
WARNING: Hazards may exist with over-insufflation, such as gas embolism.
CAUTION: When using the da Vinci Si System with insufflation, only CO2 should be used
as the insufflating gas. Insufflation should only be performed by personnel having
adequate training and experience with this technique.
CAUTION: Thermal hazards may exist from high temperatures. Eye hazards may exist
from the high energy light radiated by the endoscopic camera and illumination system.
Only personnel having adequate training and experience with the endoscopic camera
and illumination system should operate such equipment. All WARNING and CAUTION
messages provided with the endoscopic camera and illumination system must be
followed.
CAUTION: The da Vinci Si is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture of air, oxygen and/or nitrous oxide.
10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
Conversion to Non-Minimally Invasive Technique
CAUTION: The force feedback associated with the da Vinci Si System is different from
feedback experienced when using conventional instruments. As with any endoscopic
procedure, the surgeon should rely on visual cues to enhance force feedback.
CAUTION: Do not clean instrument tips with another instrument intraoperatively. If an
instrument tip requires cleaning, remove the instrument from the cannula and gently
clean the tip.
High Frequency Electrosurgery Precautions
The safe and effective use of endoscopic electrosurgery largely depends on factors solely
under the control of the operating surgeon. Only surgeons having adequate training and
experience with endoscopic electrosurgery should perform endoscopic procedures involving
electrosurgery. The instructions, warnings and cautions provided with the Electrosurgical
Generator Unit (ESU) must be followed or else serious injury or surgical complications may
occur to the patient.
CAUTION: Do not use electrosurgical equipment unless properly trained in the specific
procedure being undertaken. Follow all instructions, warnings, and cautions provided
with the ESU.
da Vinci® Si™
Introduction
CAUTION: The Intuitive Surgical monopolar electrosurgical instruments are designed
for use with a maximum peak voltage of 3kV (6kV peak-to-peak). Do not use settings on
the ESU that exceed a 3kV peak. Do not attempt to use the footswitch on the Surgeon
Console with ESUs that are not compatible with the da Vinci Si System. Consult with your
Intuitive Surgical representative regarding compatible models. A table in the
Instruments and Accessories User Manual lists compatible generators, modes and
maximum power settings to stay below the 3kV peak limit.
CAUTION: Electrosurgery may produce interference with internal or external
pacemakers. Electrosurgery may cause these devices to enter an asynchronous mode or
may inhibit pacemaker operation entirely. Consult the pacemaker manufacturer for
further information when using electrosurgery in patients with cardiac pacemakers.
CAUTION: Always check the cables, ESU, and instruments for insulation damage and
proper function before use.
CAUTION: To avoid inadvertent thermal damage to surrounding tissue and other
hazards, observe the following.
• Ensure that the dispersive electrode is securely affixed to the patient, placed as close as
possible to the operating field, and properly connected to the ESU.
• For monopolar instruments, always use the lowest output setting that achieves the
desired surgical effect while staying within 3kV maximum peak voltage. Maximum power
levels to stay below this limit are listed in a table in the Instruments and Accessories User
Manual.
10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
CAUTION: Inadvertent electrosurgical energy may cause serious injury or surgical
complications to the patient. It is important to ensure a full understanding of the
da Vinci Surgical System energy user interface and use caution when working near
critical anatomy.
• Do not deliberately or unintentionally use one instrument to energize other endoscopic
instruments. Energizing other endoscopic instruments may cause tissue damage inside
or outside the field of view. This damage could occur at points near the tip or at the port
site (cannula) of the energized instrument.
• Secure and route the ESU cable to the Intuitive Surgical Instrument to prevent cable
damage and unintended disconnection.
• Keep patient from coming in contact with grounded metal parts.
• Place any monitoring electrodes as far as possible from the surgical electrodes or the
dispersive electrode when high frequency (HF) surgical equipment and physiological
monitoring equipment are used simultaneously on the same patient.
• Do not use flammable anesthetics or oxidizing gases such as nitrous oxide and oxygen.
• Use only non-flammable agents for cleaning and disinfecting. If flammable agents are
used for cleaning or disinfecting or as solvents, they must be allowed to evaporate before
application of HF energy.
CAUTION: Make certain that the ESU audible output can be heard by the operating
surgeon during ESU use with the da Vinci Si System.

System Overview
System Overview
The da Vinci Si Surgical System is a sophisticated robotic platform designed to enable complex
surgery using a minimally invasive approach. The da Vinci Si System consists of three main
components, shown in Figure 2.1 below, from left to right: the Surgeon Console, the Patient
Cart and the Vision Cart.

System Overview
2.1 The da Vinci Si System Main Components
The Surgeon Console (Figure 2.2) is the control center for the da Vinci Si System. The surgeon
sits outside the sterile field at the Surgeon Console, using eyes, hands and feet to control a 3D
endoscope and EndoWrist® instruments, by means of two master controllers and foot pedals.
Figure 2.2 Surgeon Console
10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
Surgeon Console
As seen in the stereo viewer, instrument tips appear to align with the surgeon's hands at the
master controllers. This design is intended to simulate the natural alignment of eye, hand and
instrument of open surgery. Natural alignment, in turn, helps to optimize hand-eye
coordination. This means that the da Vinci Si System enables dexterity comparable to open
surgery in a minimally invasive procedure. Further control is provided by motion scaling and
tremor reduction, which minimizes the impact of natural hand tremor or inadvertent
movement. The Surgeon Console operator also has the option to change the view from full
screen mode to a multi-image mode (TilePro™), which displays the 3D image of the operative
field along with up to two additional images provided by auxiliary inputs. Lastly, the Surgeon
Console has several ergonomic adjustments to accommodate a wide range of body types,
providing optimal comfort while performing surgery.

System Overview
Patient Cart
Figure 2.3 Patient Cart
The da Vinci Si System uses remote center technology. The remote center is a fixed point in
space around which the Patient Cart arms move. Remote center technology enables the
System to maneuver instruments and endoscopes in the surgical site while exerting minimal
force on the patient's body wall.
10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
The Patient Cart (Figure 2.3) is the operative component of the da Vinci Si System, and its
primary function is to support the instrument arms and camera arm.
The Patient Cart operator works in the sterile field, assisting the Surgeon Console operator by
exchanging instruments and endoscopes, and by performing other patient-side activities. To
help ensure patient-safety, the actions of the Patient Cart operator take precedence over
actions of the Surgeon Console operator.
EndoWrist Instruments
Figure 2.4 Examples of EndoWrist Instruments
Intuitive Surgical designs EndoWrist instruments to give surgeons natural dexterity and more
than natural range of motion, compared to unaided human hands. This allows for greater
precision when operating in a minimally invasive environment. EndoWrist instruments, when
used with the da Vinci Si System, are designed to support the most rapid and most precise
suturing, dissection and tissue manipulation available with any surgical platform.
da Vinci® Si™
System Overview
EndoWrist instruments are multi-use instruments available in 12 mm, 8 mm, and 5 mm
diameters. For a complete listing of EndoWrist instruments, please refer to the current
Instrument and Accessory Catalog (PN 871145).
Vision Cart
The Vision Cart (Figure 2.5) houses the system's central processing and vision equipment. It
includes a 24” touchscreen monitor and provides adjustable shelves for optional ancillary
surgical equipment such as ESUs and insufflators. It is operated by a non-sterile person during
surgery.

2.2 The da Vinci Si-e Surgical System
The da Vinci Si-e Surgical System is an upgradable configuration of the da Vinci Si System,
visibly distinguished by a 3-arm Patient Cart. The da Vinci Si-e Surgical System includes an
integrated monitor on top of the Vision Cart, as in the da Vinci Si System. However, the monitor
does not have touchscreen functionality; it is a passive display system that provides OR
personnel with the patient-side display only. The da Vinci Si-e System is designed to be
upgradable at any time to a full-featured da Vinci Si System (single or dual console) – by
Intuitive Surgical technicians. The table below summarizes the Si-e feature differences. These

The master controllers (Figure 2.6) provide the means for the surgeon to control the
instruments and endoscope inside the patient. The master controllers are designed to allow
natural range of motion and to provide ergonomic comfort, even during extended
procedures.
To use the master controllers, the Surgeon Console operator grasps each controller with
his/her index (or middle) finger and thumb. The operator activates and controls the EndoWrist
instruments by bringing the finger and thumb together or apart; maneuvers the instruments

Setup joints (Figure 2.11) are used to position the Patient Cart arms in order to establish the
remote center in the surgical field. Setup joints are designed with limited freedom of
movement to facilitate port placement. (See 9.2 Moving the Patient Cart Arms on page 9-3 for
details.)
Instrument arms (Figure 2.12), once sterile drapes are applied, provide the sterile interface for
EndoWrist instruments. The Patient Cart operator initially positions the instrument arms in a
neutral position before the procedure begins. The Surgeon Console operator moves the
instrument arms using the master controllers.
Figure 2.12 Example of an instrument arm with attached instrument
da Vinci® Si™
System Overview
The instrument arm remote center is indicated by the thick, center black band on the
instrument cannula. When the Patient Cart is docked to a cannula inserted in the patient, the
instrument arm remote center should be in the patient’s body wall. This remote center
location minimizes both port-site trauma and stress exerted on the EndoWrist instruments
during surgery. The Surgeon Console operator cannot move the instrument arm remote
center. However, the Patient Cart operator can reposition the remote center by pressing the
port clutch button and repositioning the instrument arm.
At the top of the arms are LEDs which provide feedback on the status of each arm. For LED
color interpretation, see Figure 9.2 LED Quick Reference on page 9-2.
Figure 2.13 Arm LED colors
Camera Arm

DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
A telescoping insertion axis is designed to minimize collisions and allow the Patient Cart
operator to reposition instrument arms. da Vinci Si instrument arms also have a wide range of
motion to help simplify port setup and provide greater reach into the patient anatomy.
The camera arm (Figure 2.14) provides the sterile interface for the 3D endoscope. The Patient
Cart operator initially positions the camera arm in a neutral position before the procedure
begins. The Surgeon Console operator moves the camera arm using the Master Controls. The
camera arm remote center is located near the tip of the camera cannula. At the top of the
camera arm is an LED to provide feedback on the status of the arm.

System Overview
Core
The da Vinci Si Core is the system’s central connection point where all system, auxiliary
equipment, and AV connections are routed. (See Chapter 4 System Connections for details.)
If installed, the following information is applicable. The ICB is a hardware upgrade installed by
an Intuitive Surgical field engineer on the lower shelf of the Vision Cart. It powers certain
functions of advanced EndoWrist instruments such as the Vessel Sealer. Intuitive supplies
instructions to use the ICB as part of the instructions to use the applicable instrument.
Illuminator
Lighting for the surgical field is provided by the Illuminator (Figure 2.16). The light from the
Illuminator is delivered to the endoscope via a fiber optic light-guide cable and projected
onto the surgical site through the endoscope. The Illuminator has front panel controls for
increasing or decreasing the light output and turning the lamp on or off. (See 7.3 Working
with the Illuminator Controls on page 7-14 for details).

• When possible, orient the Surgeon Console so the Surgeon Console operator will have a
view of the operative field and a clear line of communication with the Patient Cart
operator.
Brake
applied
• Brakes (indicated by “BRAKE” label) are located on each side of the base on the Surgeon
Console (Figure 3.3). The Surgeon Console should be locked once it is positioned for
surgery. Step on the brake pedal to apply that brake; the lock symbol will become visible
when the pedal is depressed, indicating the brake is applied. You need activate only one
brake to lower the footswitch panel. When possible, apply both brakes for best stability.
Step on the depressed brake to release it. Both brakes must be released to raise the
footswitch panel and enable Surgeon Console transport.
3.2 Patient Cart Positioning
Place the Patient Cart in the sterile field. We recommend two people to safely move the
Patient Cart: one to operate the motor drive (or push the cart when in neutral) and the other
positioned opposite to ensure the arms and cart do not accidentally hit anything.
Note: Use extreme care when moving or positioning the Patient Cart to ensure the arms
do not hit any objects. If an arm hits an object while the Patient Cart is being moved or
positioned, contact Intuitive Surgical Technical Support to have the Patient Cart
inspected for damage.
• You will need to dedicate a space in the room where the Patient Cart can be draped
before moving it into place for surgery. This should be an area where it will not easily
contact non-sterile objects nor impede traffic. Once the Patient Cart is draped and the
patient is positioned, prepared and ports are placed, use the Patient Cart motor drive to
move the cart into the sterile field (see Motor Drive Operation below).

3. Hold the throttle enable switch and rotate the throttle away from you or towards you to
move in that direction. A label illustrates this two-part step:
Note: When operating on battery, the motor drive does not work if battery power is too
low. The battery status indicators show the amount of battery power. The lower part of
the motor drive interface explains the meaning of flashing or red BATTERY LEDs:
FLASHING: CHARGE BATTERY
RED: INSUFFICIENT CHARGE FOR SURGERY
Note: The Patient Cart battery should be adequately charged. If not, an error message
appears on the monitors. You can override the error if the Patient Cart is plugged into AC
power.
Shift Switches
In the event the Patient Cart should need to be moved without use of the motor drive (for
example, during a power loss), rotate both shift switches (Figure 3.8) to the neutral (N)
position. The cart can then be moved manually. Once you have finished moving the cart, place
both shift switches in the drive (D) position to set the Patient Cart brakes.
Note: The cart is capable of passing over thresholds of up to 10 mm high by 80 mm wide.
If a threshold is high enough that the motor drive is not able to drive over it, the cart can
be manually pushed over the threshold. Put the shift switches (Figure 3.8) in “N” for
neutral, and manually push the cart over the threshold.

Connect the AC power cords of the Surgeon Console, Patient Cart, and Vision Cart to wall
outlets. (To support continued use of the da Vinci System in case of a site power failure, use
wall outlets [often red] supported by backup power.) Ensure adequate power is available at
each wall outlet according to the table below:
Note: The power cord plug of each cart provides isolation from the supply mains.
Position equipment so that the power cord plugs can be accessed to isolate mains power
from the system.

10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
The da Vinci Si System cables (see Figure 4.2) are 20 m (65.6 ft) in length and should be kept
attached to the Vision Cart.
• Pass video, audio, and data during system operation
• Are stored on the cable hook located on the side of the Vision Cart
Note: Once the system is connected and powered on, the system cables should not be
unplugged until the system has completely powered down. If the system cables become
unplugged during use, a non-recoverable fault will occur. To restore system
functionality, plug in the cable, remove all instruments, and restart the system. (See
page A-3 for more information on Restarting the System During a Procedure due to a
non-recoverable fault.)
Note: The system cables have a fiber-optic core. Care should be taken to avoid bending
the cable, as kinks can damage the cable and may prevent system operation. The
minimum safe bend radius is 1 inch (2.54 cm). Take care to avoid stepping on the cable,
since this can damage it.

4.3 Camera Head Cable Connections
Note: Intuitive has shipped da Vinci Si Systems with two different kinds of camera head
video cable, which can be readily distinguished by having either black ends or gray
ends. This section addresses use of both kinds of cable. The cables and their connectors
on the camera head and CCU are not cross-compatible, that is, a cable with black ends
will not work with a system designed to work with a cable that has gray ends. Users must
not attempt to switch camera cables to an incompatible system.

distinguishing details that pertain to cables with black or gray ends called out in this section.
10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
The camera head has two cables: one for video and one for illumination. Both the camera
head video cable and the light guide cable are 5.75 m (18 ft 6 in) long.
Note: The camera cable with black ends has a yellow ring on the (male) CCU connector
that must be paired only with the (female) receptacle on the CCU, which has a blue ring.
Follow these steps to connect the camera cable (see Figure 4.7).
1. Attach the camera cable to the receptacle on the Camera Control Unit (CCU). The
connector is keyed. Therefore, to successfully insert the connector, you must match the
alignment arrows on the cable connector and the top of the CCU receptacle as shown.

Care of Camera Cables
The fiber optic light guide cable and camera cable are susceptible to damage from kinking or
crushing or contamination to their connectors if disconnected, all of which degrades light
transmission, and could diminish video quality or even lead to cable failure. To preserve the
life of your cables, follow these guidelines to care for them.
• Leave both camera cables connected at both ends when not in use. This protects the
connectors and receptacles from contamination.

4.4 Auxiliary Device Connections
Note: If combinations of the installed energy instruments or connected ESUs make
mapping of energy pedals ambiguous, the system will not map nor activate the pedals
for that energy type. For instance, you cannot be in simultaneous energy control of two
energized instruments of the same type (for example, bipolar and bipolar). This means
that if a surgeon is actively controlling two bipolar instruments at the same time with
the right and left master controllers, then he/she will not be able to activate energy.
Compatible electrosurgical units (ESUs) can be actuated after connecting the appropriate
energy activation cable to any of the auxiliary connectors on the back of the Core. You can
attach up to 3 ESUs at a time. Cables are color-coded by ESU model. See the Instruments and

This chapter explains how to power up the da Vinci Si System components. It will cover the
following topics:
The Power buttons on the Vision Cart, Patient Cart and Surgeon Console are lit amber when in
standby mode (connected to AC power but not powered on), blue when powered on. The
Power buttons are not lit at all when not connected to AC power.
The Surgeon Console, Patient Cart and Vision Cart can all be powered on individually, known
as stand-alone mode.
While the Surgeon Console is in stand-alone mode, you can adjust the ergonomic controls. No
touchpad functions are available.
Note: To operate in dual console mode (using a second Surgeon Console--see 10.5 Dual
Console Surgery), simply plug the second console’s system cable in one of the available
Fiber ports on the back of the Core. No other connection is necessary, except of course to
plug in the Surgeon Console to a dedicated AC power outlet. The second Surgeon
Console behaves just as the first with respect to power operations, as described in this
section.
While the Patient Cart is in stand-alone mode and not connected to the Vision Cart, the arm
LEDs do not provide any feedback and system accessories do not engage. You can use the
Patient Cart motor drive and clutch buttons when not connected to the Core nor to AC power.
While the Vision Cart is in stand-alone mode, all vision system functions are available (for
example, video sources, auto-calibration, white balance, etc.).
da Vinci® Si™
Startup
1. To power on the Surgeon Console or Vision Cart in stand-alone mode, make sure the
power cord is plugged in, and press the Power button (Figure 5.1).
Note: Each of the Surgeon Console, Patient Cart and Vision Cart has a mains circuit
breaker switch on its rear that must be in the on position (indicated by “I” near each
switch) for that subsystem to power on. The Core, Illuminator and Camera Control Unit
(CCU) each also has its own component power switch on the back that must be in the on
position for that component to power on. All of these subsystem and component power
switches are intended to be left in the on position, and used only in special
circumstances like those described below under Addressing Anomalous Power
Behavior, page 5-2.
5.2 Powering On the System
When the Surgeon Console, Patient Cart, and Vision Cart are fully connected and plugged into
AC power, you can power on all of them by pushing any of the system Power buttons.
Note: If any of the individual components are in stand-alone mode and you connect the
system cables, the system will power itself on.
Note: System cables may be connected at any time, but once connected, cannot be
unplugged until the system has been completely powered down.
Note: The Patient Cart battery should be adequately charged. If not, an error message
appears on the monitors. You can override the error if the Patient Cart is plugged into AC
power.
Addressing Anomalous Power Behavior

DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
2. To power on the Patient Cart in stand-alone mode, press the Power button on the Patient
Cart (Figure 5.1). The Patient Cart does not need to be plugged in for stand-alone mode.
Anomalous and rare circumstances may result in the da Vinci System as a whole, or one of the
Patient Cart, Vision Cart or Surgeon Console separately, to fail to power on normally, or to
undergo an automatic, controlled power-down sequence when running. The former can
happen, for example, due to faulty power connections. The latter can happen, for example,
when a system component overheats. This section explains what to do in such situations.
Check AC Power Connections
In all cases of anomalous power behavior, first check AC power connections, as follows:
1. Confirm that the power cord for each of the Surgeon Console, Patient Cart and Vision Cart
is properly connected to a dedicated AC power outlet.
da Vinci® Si™

5-3
Startup
2. Confirm that the mains circuit breaker switch on each of the Surgeon Console, Patient
Cart and Vision Cart is correctly set to the on position (indicated by “I” near each switch).
These switches are found on the rear of each component near the power cord inlet.

On the Patient Cart, make sure that the EPO button is not depressed, since it requires
a second press after use to reset it once it is used. See “Hard-Cycle” Power below.
3. On the Vision Cart, confirm that each of its component power switches—for the Core,
Camera Control Unit and Illuminator—is correctly set to the on position (indicated by “I”
on the switch). These components are not intended to be turned off or disconnected at
any time unless you are directed to do so by Intuitive Surgical Product Support. Also
confirm that each Vision Cart component power cord is plugged into the integrated
Vision Cart power strip.

Check that the blue system cables are properly connected between the Core and the Surgeon
Console and Patient Cart. See section 4.2 System Cable Connections on page 4-3.
“Hard-Cycle” Power
If the entire system or one of the Patient Cart, Vision Cart or Surgeon Console fails to power on
normally by pressing one of the Power buttons, first check the AC power connections as
described above. If all AC power connections are complete, follow these steps to “hard-cycle”
power on the whole system:
da Vinci® Si™
Startup
2. Because the Patient Cart will operate on battery even if you switch off its mains circuit
breaker, you must use the EPO (Emergency Power Off ) button—the large red button on
the rear of the Patient Cart. The EPO button both disconnects the Patient Cart from AC
power and exits the default standby or sleep mode. Press the EPO button once to remove
all power; it will remain partially depressed. After at least 2 seconds, press the EPO button
again to reset it; it will rebound to its fully extended ready position, as it was before.
3. Switch on the mains circuit breaker switches on the Surgeon Console and Vision Cart.
(The Patient Cart circuit breaker should already be in the on position; make sure it is.)
After about 30 seconds, all three system components should be back in their default
standby power state, indicated by their Power buttons being lit amber.
4. Power on the system normally, by pressing the Power button on one of the Surgeon
Console, Vision Cart or Patient Cart.
• To address anomalous power behavior when trying to power a single system component
in stand-alone mode, “hard-cycle” power as described above for the applicable
component.
Restart from Automatic High Temperature Power Down
The entire da Vinci System is designed to undergo an automatic, controlled power-down
sequence in case a component or subsystem overheats while in normal operating mode (as
opposed to maintenance mode or stand-alone mode), thereby preventing system damage.
When the system detects overheating, it automatically initiates a 60-second power down
sequence and displays a message announcing it and showing the countdown. The power
down sequence cannot be interrupted. When it is complete, all three system Power buttons
will be lit amber, indicating the systems are in their default standby or sleep state.
10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
1. Remove AC power from the Surgeon Console and Vision Cart by flipping each of their
mains circuit breaker switches to off (indicated by “O” near each switch). Leave them off
until the step in this sequence (below) that instructs you to switch them on again.
• We recommend that you wait 5 minutes for the overheated portion of the system to cool,
and if possible, address situations that may be causing the system to overheat. For
example, make sure that all vented system covers are not blocked, and move systems
away from objects that may obstruct air flow in and out of system covers.
Follow the usual steps to restart the system from standby:
1. Press one of the system Power buttons. This powers on the system as normal; the Power
button LED flashes amber as normal during the power-up sequence, and lights solid blue
when power-up is complete.
• If overheating recurs, you can repeat the restart to recover, but we recommend that you
seek assistance from ISI Technical Support to address the cause of overheating.
“Cool Mode” Restart from Stand-Alone Mode
If overheating of a single component results in automatic power-down when it is operating in
stand-alone mode, it requires three Power button presses to recover that component to
normal operation. This is called “cool mode,” the mode in which the system component is
cooling from an overheated state. The button press behavior is as follows:
1. First Power button press has no noticeable effect.
2. Second Power button press returns the system component to standby state, as indicated
by its Power button lighting amber after several seconds.
da Vinci® Si™

5-5
Startup
3. Third Power button press powers on the component normally.
5.3 Startup Sequence
During the startup sequence, a system integrity test is performed. As part of this test, the
master controllers and all Patient Cart arms that are not stowed perform a self-test. The
masters move to their start position and must arrive there for the system to work. If a master is
impeded somehow, simply move it by hand to free it and it will move to its start position. The
instrument arms of the Patient Cart fully extend and perform a short mechanical integrity test,
if no cannula is installed and they are not in stow position (see 5.5 Stow Position on page 5-7).
If an arm bumps into something during the test, use the port clutch button to move the arm
clear of the obstacle. When clear, press and release the port clutch button to enable the test to
resume.
Once the system integrity test is successfully completed, the arm LEDs (of all arms not stowed)
will be lit white.
Note: During the startup sequence, do not put your head or other objects in the stereo
viewer. Do not activate any of the da Vinci Si System controls, including the clutch
buttons, footswitches, etc. While most button-presses will be ignored during the startup
sequence, some may cause a non-recoverable fault, which will mean that you will have
to restart the system. The Emergency Stop feature is available during startup if needed.
Once the system beeps, you may interact with the system controls.
10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
• This restart behavior also applies if overheating occurs when a component or system is in
maintenance mode. Maintenance mode is reserved for use by Intuitive Surgical service
personnel, so users generally do not encounter this situation.
Note: If the system detects a mounted sterile adapter, instrument, or cannula before
startup, the Patient Cart arms will not move during startup. This is a feature that is
designed to allow the system to stay safely connected to a patient during the startup
sequence.
Note: Instruments should be removed when starting the system, as long as this is
clinically acceptable.

Draping
6.1 Draping Guidelines
• For speed, sterility and safety, draping should be done by a two-person team: a scrub
nurse or surgical assistant and a circulating nurse who can handle non-sterile
components.
• First drape the column. You should then drape instrument arm 3 (if it will be used).
• Using the clutch buttons, the circulating nurse should move each straightened arm to
provide plenty of room to maneuver around the arm.
• Once an arm is draped, the scrub nurse should move the draped arm away from the
undraped arms and prepare to drape the next arm.
To drape the da Vinci Si, you need a three-quarter drape for the column, two or three
instrument arm drapes, a camera arm drape, and a camera head drape. Draping the
touchscreen is optional. Drapes are available for order as complete kits and as individual
items. Before beginning a procedure, make sure that you have sufficient draping supplies – at
least one backup of each required drape – to account for inadvertent contamination while
setting up the system, and have the endoscope laid out and ready for use.
WARNING: If the drape packaging is torn or open, do not use the drape, as the drape
may be unsterile.
Note: Never substitute generic drapes for Intuitive Surgical drapes. Drapes are available
from Intuitive Surgical or your distributor. Each piece of the custom draping has been
designed to maintain sterility and to make the draping process easy and efficient.
6.2 Column Covering Procedure
10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
• Drape the arms systematically, moving from left to right or right to left.
Intuitive Surgical recommends covering the Patient Cart column with a three-quarter drape for
procedures where fluid may splash onto the column. You should cover the column before
draping the instrument arms and camera arm.
• Minimum length and width for three-quarter drape: 75" x 50" (190.5 cm x 127 cm)
• Maximum length and width for three-quarter drape: 80" x 60" (203.2 cm x 152.4 cm)

Sterile Adapter Engagement Verification
After the Sterile Adapter is attached and the discs
rotate back and forth, verify the position of the open
notch on each disc.
Open Notch
Open Notch Location:
Top Left disc – 7 o’clock
Top right disc – 11 o’clock
Bottom right disc – 3 o’clock
Bottom left disc – 10 o’clock
Clockwise from top left:
“7, 11, 3, 10”
The discs should be in this alignment after draping and
before installation of an instrument.
Note: Once a sterile adapter is successfully engaged on the arm, it should not need to be
removed or reseated until the end of the procedure.
If any open notch does not match the position above,
use the closed tip of a sterile Kelly Forceps or
Hemostat instrument to manual rotate the disc.
10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
It is important to ensure the sterile adapter built into the drape is properly engaged with the
instrument arm, so the instrument works properly when installed. Follow these steps and best
practices to ensure engagement.
Rotate the disc in either direction until it clicks into
place. The disc should no longer rotate once it is fully
engaged. If the sterile adapter does not engage properly,
remove and reseat the instrument arm drape.

6.4 Camera Arm Draping Procedure
Note: Before draping the camera arm, make sure you install the correct endoscope
cannula mount based on which endoscope cannula will be used during the procedure.
Refer to the Instruments and Accessories User Manual for more information.
Note: The blue band on the drape indicates the sterility barrier. If a non-sterile person is
assisting in installation of the drape, he/she must not grasp the drape anywhere beyond
the blue band.
To begin draping the camera arm:
1. Circulating Nurse: Deliver the camera arm drape to the scrub nurse in sterile fashioning
the arrow-side facing up.
2. Scrub Nurse: Unfold the drape on a sterile table and remove the white retainer from the
sterile adapter.
10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
Before you begin draping the camera arm, the sterile person should move the draped
instrument arms away from the camera arm, to provide plenty of room to walk between the
arms.

6.5 Camera Head Draping Procedure
Note: Before draping the camera head, wipe the lenses to remove any debris or
smudges.
Since the Vision Cart and cables are not sterile, a non-sterile person (circulating nurse below)
must assist a sterile person (scrub nurse below) with draping and connecting the camera
head. (The camera head itself is not sterile and must not be autoclaved.)
10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
9. Bend the blue flex-strips to create a clear path for the endoscope along the arm’s
insertion axis, and to ensure the camera arm drape does not stretch or tear during system
operation.
To drape the camera head:
1. Circulating nurse: Deliver the camera drape to the scrub nurse in sterile fashion.

Note: The da Vinci Si System must be used only with ISI approved or supplied cameras,
endoscopes, accessories and image processing equipment. This ensures optimal image
quality and da Vinci Si System performance.
CAUTION: Surgery should be performed with the da Vinci Si System only when the vision
system provides sufficient visualization to safely perform surgical tasks.
da Vinci® Si™
Vision System Use
The Illuminator provides lighting for the surgical field. The Illuminator monitors the life left on
the lamp module and notifies you when replacement is recommended. For replacement
instructions, see Illuminator Lamp Module Replacement on page 12-2. For additional, general
information and specifications regarding the Illuminator, see Appendix C: Illuminator
Information.
Endoscopes
CAUTION: Do not autoclave the endoscope. The endoscope should be cleaned and
sterilized before each procedure and does not require sterile draping during surgical
use. Clean and sterilize the endoscope prior to each use. Refer to Reprocessing
Instructions User Manual (PN 550875) for reprocessing methods and parameters.
CAUTION: Handle endoscope with care. Dropping the endoscope may result in damage
and loss of functionality. Inspect endoscope for damage prior to use.
The endoscope provides a left and right optical channel to capture the surgical image. Light
from the Illuminator is projected on the surgical field through integrated fiber optic channels.
Heat from the fiber optic channels helps to minimize fogging at the endoscope lens.

7.2 Setting Up the Vision System
CAUTION: Failure to adhere to approved operating practices may result in damage to
the endoscope. Examples of improper practices include: dropping of equipment,
collisions, and improper cleaning and sterilization techniques. A damaged endoscope
may result in fragments falling into the patient.
Pre-operative Inspection
The endoscope and corresponding endoscopic equipment and accessories should be
thoroughly inspected for any mechanical or optical defects before each procedure. The glass
surfaces in the light ports at the distal tip and those located at the camera end should be clean
and free of any deposits and residues to ensure a bright and clear image. Inspect surfaces
carefully for any irregularities or damage, such as sharp edges, cracks, dents, mechanical
and/or thermal defects due to inadequate application of electrosurgery or other instruments.
Careful inspection and assembly as described in this section can prevent loss of any
components during use.
WARNING: Do not use endoscopes with any defects or signs of damage, including
damage to the light ports or fiber surfaces, as serious injury or surgical complications
may occur to the patient.
WARNING: Do not look into the light at the tip of a fiber-optic bundle when the lamp is
on. As with any bright light, permanent eye injury can result.
Inspecting Glass and Endoscope Surfaces
Follow these steps to inspect endoscope light ports and fiber surfaces:
1. Hold the distal endoscope tip toward a bright ceiling lamp.
10/9/14
DRAFT/PRE-RELEASE/CONFIDENTIAL
This section explains how to prepare the vision system for use.
2. Inspect the light ports. The individual fibers should appear bright.
3. Move the distal endoscope tip held toward the lamp slightly to observe a noticeable
change in brightness of the fibers within the light port surface. Some fibers will remain
dark without any impact on quality, but if the majority of the fibers appear dark then the
resulting limited illumination may restrict adequate operation.
