Inquiry regarding examples for certain instruments ¶

Dear organizers,
The data description page displays examples of all the instruments expect 2: bipolar dissector and suction irrigator:
-
Suction irrigator: It's included in the exception of the rule:
if the tool is very large and the clevis does not always show in the field of view (e.g tip-up fenestrated grasper, suction irrigator, stapler, grasping retractor)
Does this mean that the middle joint of the suction irrigator is the ground truth and the big white tip is only considered in case the joint is not shown? Could you please provide us with an example as this instrument doesn't have the typical tip/clevis/shaft as the rest of the instruments. -
Bipolar dissector: There are 17 clips with this instrument and the instruments in those clips don't look similar to the robotic ones in the data description page. Most of the instruments in those 17 clips have different shapes and colors, the clips also don't include the UI as the other clips. What is considered ground truth in those clips? and how should we deal with the instruments difference with respect to the rest of the clips? For example permanent cautery hook/spatula has a yellow clevis in most clips but in these 17 clips it has a white joint.
17 clips in question: ['clip_016647', 'clip_016648', 'clip_016649', 'clip_016650', 'clip_016651', 'clip_016652', 'clip_016653', 'clip_016654', 'clip_016655', 'clip_016656', 'clip_016657', 'clip_016658', 'clip_016659', 'clip_016660', 'clip_016661', 'clip_016662', 'clip_016663']
Best regards,
