Sterile adapter for IS3000 model

Reason

Intuitive Surgical System uses a Sterile Adapter as the interface between the (Sterile) instrument and the (Non-sterile) system. For the IS2000 and IS3000 system models, the Sterile Adapter is integrated into the instrument arm drape. Intuitive Surgical is implementing a voluntary action to provide users of the Da Vinci S, SI and SI-E systems with additional information regarding sterile adapter engagement and instrument installation. A quick reference guide has been developed so that all customers can consistently achieve reliable instrument performance.
