Answer
To resolve the article visibility issue, the administrator must grant access to the 'Surgical Systems' Data Category via Data Category Visibility settings and assign the 'Field Diagnostics' Knowledge record type to the agents' profile or permission set.
Published Salesforce Knowledge article access is governed by both Data Category Visibility and Knowledge Record Type accessibility. Granting access to the 'Surgical Systems' category in Data Category Visibility settings and assigning the 'Field Diagnostics' record type on the Knowledge object to the support agents' profile or permission set ensures the articles can be searched and viewed.
