Reason

Voluntary action to provide users with additional information regarding sterile adapter engagement and instrument installation.  Although rare, sterile adapter and instrument engagement issues may lead to non-intuitive motion or a sluggish response when controlling instruments. These characteristics are apparent prior to interaction with tissue and thus do not pose a risk to health or safety of patients or users.
