Every incident, injury and recall on file, from the national registries that publish them. Search a maker, a model, a town or a reference number — or narrow by what happened. Each record is the registry's own text, reproduced without rewriting, with the reference that locates it at the source. Registries count different things, so a total is a count of FILINGS and never a measure of how dangerous something is. How the record was collected.

ExcelsiusGPS — Injury report filed with FDA (MAUDE). A MAUDE report does not establish that the device caused the outcome. Reported narrative: THE SURGEON USED THE NS INSTRUMENTATION TO MARK PLACEMENT OF THE BURR HOLES. THE PATIENT AND EGPS WERE DRAPED AND THE IGEE WAS VERIFIED BY THE SCRUB TECH. THE EGPS WAS PUSHED IN WITH THE O-ARM STILL IN SCAN POSITION TO ALLOW FOR EVALUATION SHOTS. ONCE THE INCISION/APPROACH WAS COMPLETED, THE ARM WAS BROUGHT IN ALONG THE VIM R TRAJECTORY. AS THE SURGEON PLACED THE CANNULA IN THE CENTRAL TRAJECTORY, THE ENTRY POINT APPEARED TO BE CLOSE TO THE POSTERIOR EDGE OF THE BURR HOLE COVER. AS THE SURGEON INSERTED THE CANNULA, HE BOVIED THE CANNULA WHICH CAUSED THE EGPS SCREEN TO TEMPORARILY BLACK OUT DURING THE BOVIE USAGE WHEN THE CANNULA WAS SEATED, AN O-ARM SPIN WAS PERFORMED TO CHECK CANNULA PLACEMENT. THE CANNULA TRAJECTORY WAS OFF WITH THE ENTRY POINT POSTERIOR AND THE TRAJECTORY POINTING ANTERIOR. THE TIP OF THE CANNULA (PLANNED FOR 10MM ABOVE TARGET) PRESENTED A DEVIATION OF E/ 11.5 AND E/1.4. LANDMARK CHECKS WERE PERFORMED AGAIN AND IT APPEARED THAT THE CENTER OF THE BURR HOLE SHOWED ANTERIOR OF THE PLANNED TRAJECTORY ON THE SCREEN. A STERILE REGISTRATION WAS THEN PERFORMED BUT FOLLOWING THE TRANSFER OF THE SPIN AND CONFIRMATION OF THE FIDUCIALS, THE EGPS PRESENTED AN ERROR STATING T
