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: THE PATIENT HAD A PLANNED SINGLE POSITION LATERAL DECUBITUS SURGERY FOR PEDICLE SCREW FIXATION AND INTERBODY FUSION FROM L4-S1. ROBOTIC GUIDANCE WAS PLANNED FOR PLACEMENT OF PEDICLE SCREWS FROM L4-S1 (6 SCREWS) USING THE GLOBUS EXCELSIUS GPS SYSTEM. TWO SURGEONS TRAINED TO USE THE GLOBUS EXCELSIUS GPS SYSTEM, TWO GLOBUS REPS AND A VASCULAR SURGEON WERE PRESENT DURING THE PROCEDURE. THE ICT (INTRA-OPERATIVE REGISTRATION DEVICE (REFERENCE FRAME)) IS PLACED IN THE ILIAC CREST TO ASSIST WITH IMAGE MERGE. A DYNAMIC REFERENCE BASE (DRB (MOTION CHECKER)) IS ALSO PLACED IN THE ILIAC CREST AND ACTS AS SURVEILLANCE MARKER FOR REAL-TIME INTRAOPERATIVE ACCURACY. THE ROBOTIC SOFTWARE USES AN ALGORITHM TO REGISTER INTRAOPERATIVE FLUOROSCOPY SCAN IMAGES LEVEL BY LEVEL (AP & LATERAL) AND PERFORMS A 2D-3D MERGE WITH A PRE-OPERATIVE CT SCAN. THIS REGISTRATION IS INTENDED TO ENSURE THAT THE RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGES INDICATING THE INTENDED LOCATION OF SURGERY AND THE ACTUAL PATIENT POSITION IN THE O.R. MATCHES, THUS ENABLING THE ROBOT TO GUIDE SCREW PLACEMENT. IN THIS CASE, THE SOFTWARE WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY PERFORMING THE INITIAL IMAGE MERGE AND REGISTRATION. A SOFTWARE RESET WAS ADVISED BY THE REP. FOLLO

ExcelsiusGPS — Injury report filed with FDA (MAUDE). A MAUDE report does not establish that the device caused the outcome. Reported narrative: IT WAS ANOTHER PREOP CASE IN (B)(6), SCREWS REVISION S1L AND S1R. THE FF WAS ATTACHED IN THE CENTER WITHOUT THE GAP BETWEEN THE DETECTOR AND FF. I HAVE CHECKED THE MARKER'S POSTS ON THE FF AND THE GPS INSTRUMENTS, AND NO BENT POSTS WERE SEEN. DRB AND SM WERE PLACED AS USUAL ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE. DESPITE A GOOD REGISTRATION SCORE(8,9), WE GOT SHIFT IN THE AP SHOTS. NOTHING WAS MOVED DURING THE REGISTRATION, THE C-ARM WAS BRAKED, AND THE PATIENT AND TABLE WERE NOT MOVED. DURING THE X-RAYS THE MOVEMENT BAR WAS MOVING FROM GREEN TO YELLOW. WE TOOK A SECOND ATTEMPT, AND TRIED TO GET THE SHOTS, HAVING THE GREEN BAR. AFTER NEW LATERAL SHOOTS THE MERGE WAS GOOD, AND WE COULD PROCEED TO THE NAVIGATION. 3. AT THIS POINT THE SM TURNED TO RED AND THEN TO YELLOW, DESPITE NOTHING BEING MOVED OR CHANGED. THE SURGEON CHECKED THE NAVIGATION ACCURACY AT THE SKIN LEVEL AND DECIDED TO DO THE SKIN INCISION, WITHOUT TO RESET THE SM. HE CHECKED THE ACCURACY INSIDE THE WOUND, TAPING THE SPINAL PROCESS AND SCREWS HEADS. THE ACCURACY WAS GOOD, AND SM WAS DEACTIVATED AND ACTIVATED AGAIN AND WAS GREEN. DURING THE CASE, SURGEON CHECKED MULTIPLE TIMES THE NAVIGATION ACCURACY AND IT WAS GOOD. THE CONTROL X
