Find a safety record
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: IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING A REVISION CASE WITH THE SURGEON WE HAD A SCREW PLACED LATERALLY OF THE INTENDED PLANNED SCREW, THE SCREW THAT WAS PLACED LATERALLY WAS THE LEFT L3 SCREW. WE ALSO HAD SOME DIFFICULTY WITH MOTION ON THE MERGE, WHICH WAS SURPRISING BECAUSE THE PATIENT HAD PREVIOUSLY IMPLANTED HARDWARE WHICH USUALLY MAKES THE PROCESS EASIER. THE LATERALLY PLACED SCREW WAS BACKED OUT AND RE-DIRECTED MANUALLY WITHOUT THE ROBOT. NONE OF THIS CAUSED ANY ISSUES WITH THE PATIENT OR PROCEDURE. THE SURGEON HAS REQUESTED THAT THE CALIBRATION OF THE ROBOT BE CHECKED.

Reported narrative: IT WAS REPORTED THAT WHILE USING THE EXCELSIUS GPS SYSTEM, A SCREW WAS MISPLACED DURING A T11-L3 PERCFUSION CASE TODAY. THE SCREW WAS REMOVED, AND WE DID THE REST UNDER FLUORO WITHOUT THE ROBOT. EVERY INSTRUMENT HE PUT DOWN THE END EFFECTOR WAS SUPER OFF EVEN THE ANATOMY CHECKS WERE ACCURATE. IT COULD'VE BEEN A SCAN ISSUE WE DON'T KNOW.

ExcelsiusGPS — Injury report filed with FDA (MAUDE). A MAUDE report does not establish that the device caused the outcome. Reported narrative: IT WAS REPORTED THAT WHEN DOING AN SI JOINT FUSION WITH OUR SURGEON, OUR MERGE SEEMED TO BE GOOD. HOWEVER, UPON STARTING THE FIRST SCREW, THE HIGHSPEED DRILL WAS NOTICEABLY DEEPER THAN ITS ACTUAL DEPTH. WE TRIED TO FIX IT AND WHEN STANDARD TROUBLE SHOOTING WAS DONE NOTHING CHANGED BUT THE SURGEON WANTED TO PROCEED. THE SCREW PLACED WAS POSTERIOR AND INFERIOR TO THE PLAN. WE DECIDED TO COMPLETELY REMERGE. SIMILAR SHOTS WERE TAKEN AND THE SCREWS WERE PLACED TO PLAN WITH NO DEPTH ISSUES.

ExcelsiusGPS — Injury report filed with FDA (MAUDE). A MAUDE report does not establish that the device caused the outcome. Reported narrative: IT WAS REPORTED THAT WHILE USING THE E3D TO PRE OP MERGE, NAVIGATION LOOKED CORRECT BUT UPON TAKING X-RAYS, NAVIGATION WAS OFF A SIGNIFICANTLY ANTERIORLY. THE DISC PREP THAT WAS DONE BASED OFF THE GPS NAVIGATION ON THE ROBOT RESULTED IN VIOLATING THE INFERIOR ENDPLATE OF THE SUPERIOR VERTEBRAL BODY, WHICH CAUSE THE SABLE CAGE TO SUBSIDE. ON THE NAVIGATION, THE CAGE LOOKED LIKE IT WAS WELL WITHIN THE DISC SPACE, BUT UNDER X-RAY IT WAS CLEARLY NOT. WE TRIED TO RE-PLACE THE CAGE BUT HAD THE SAME RESULT.

ExcelsiusGPS — Injury report filed with FDA (MAUDE). A MAUDE report does not establish that the device caused the outcome. Reported narrative: IT WAS REPORTED THAT IN AN EXCELSIUS GPS SURGERY, IT WAS NOTICED THAT AFTER TAKING X-RAYS IN THE OR FOR THE PRE OP CT WORKFLOW AND DOING THE MERGE, THE PLANNED SCREWS WERE TOTALLY WRONG IN THE X-RAY. WE TOOK THEM OUT TO BE NOT HASSITATED. WHEN WE PLACED THE FIDUCIALS INTO THE LATERAL VIEW VERTEBRA, THE AP ONES WERE COMPLETELY OFF AND NEEDED TO BE PLACED IN THE CENTRE. THEN WE HAD AN ANATOMICAL SHIFT IN LATERAL VIEW. WE COULD NOT CHOOSE ALL THE DIFFERENT VIEWS LIKE STANDARD OR STANDARD OPTIMIZED OR L2 SEED AUTOMATICALLY.

ExcelsiusGPS — Injury report filed with FDA (MAUDE). A MAUDE report does not establish that the device caused the outcome. Reported narrative: IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING AN EXCELSIUS GPS SURGERY THE ROBOT WOULD NOT START. IT TURNED ON, BUT THE SCREEN WAS BLACK. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. THE THIRD TIME IT STARTED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. IT UNDOCKED ITSELF DURING THE OPERATION. WE DOCKED IT MANUALLY AND CONTINUED THE OPERATION. EVERYTHING WENT WELL. HOWEVER, AFTER THE INTRAOPERATIVE CT SCAN, 3 OUT OF 8 SCREWS WERE INCORRECTLY INSERTED. WE CLOSED THE CASE IN THE ROBOT AND STARTED A NEW ONE AS IF IT WERE A NEW OPERATION. WE DID A 3D SCAN AGAIN, PLANNED THE SCREWS AND INSERTED THEM. EVERYTHING WENT WELL AND AFTER THE CONTROL SCAN THE SCREWS WERE ALREADY INSERTED CORRECTLY. THE PATIENT DID NOT SUFFER ANY HARM.
