It was reported that there was an issue with the bipolar cord and kleppinger. During a laparoscopic tubal ligation, the bipolar forceps was noted to not be working "at all". Another forceps was also attempted to be used, but it only worked intermittently. The surgeon then switched to suture ligatures instead to complete the procedure. The electric generator and pedal were working; it was unknown if the cords or the instruments malfunctioned. There was no patient harm; however, a 15-minute surgical delay occurred. Associated medwatches: 2916714-2019-00007. 2916714-2019-00009 (this report) - cord.
