    THE BURR DID NOT ENGAGE WHEN THE SURGEON PRESSED THE TRIGGER ON THE ANSPACH. I RESET THE CUTTER AND NO POWER TO THE ANSPACH. I RESET THE ARM SOFTWARE AND NO POWER TO THE ANSPACH. I CHANGED THE ANSPACH AND RAN A BURR STATUS CHECK WITH THE TRIGGER AND THE FOOT PEDAL AND FAILED BOTH. I DID A HARD SHUT DOWN, RE-HOMED THE ROBOT, DID ANOTHER BURR STATUS CHECK. I FAIL BOTH THE TRIGGER AND FOOT PEDAL. I FINALLY SWAPPED OUT THE END EFFECTOR AND RAN ANOTHER BURR STATUS CHECK, HOMED THE ROBOT AND PASSED THE BURR STATUS CHECK. WE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE CASE. CASE TYPE: PKA. SURGICAL DELAY: 20-30 MINUTES.

    DURING THE PKA CASE EARLIER TODAY, THE SMALL AND LARGE COLLET NUT WOULD NOT HOLD THE ANSPACH BURR IN PLACE. THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE ANSPACH TO MOVE FROM THE ORIGINAL REGISTRATION POSITION AND SUBSEQUENTLY NOT PASS A REGISTRATION CHECK. IN ORDER TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE, WE HAD TO OPEN THE OTHER PKA TRAY THAT LIVES AT (B)(6) AND USE THE SMALL AND LARGE COLLET NUT FROM THE SET TO COMPLETE THE CASE. CASE TYPE: PKA.
