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.

da Vinci Surgical System — Death report filed with FDA (MAUDE). A MAUDE report does not establish that the device caused the outcome. Reported narrative: A REVIEW OF AN ARTICLE WAS PERFORMED THAT EVALUATED OUTCOMES OF ROBOTIC INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR (RIHR) IN A SINGLE INSTITUTION STUDY COMPARING SURGEONS WITH VARYING ROBOTIC EXPERIENCE. THE STUDY ANALYZED 297 PATIENTS UNDERGOING ROBOTIC INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR BETWEEN JULY 2016 AND SEPTEMBER 2021. ONE PATIENT DIED WITHIN 30 DAYS POST SURGERY DUE TO ASPIRATION PNEUMONIA LEADING TO CARDIAC ARREST. NO DEVICE MALFUNCTIONS WERE REPORTED, AND THE AUTHORS DID NOT REPORT ANY EVENTS CAUSED BY ANY ISI DEVICE. INTUITIVE SURGICAL INC, (ISI) CONTACTED THE AUTHOR WHO REPORTED THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES SEEN OR RECORDED WITH THE DA VINCI SYSTEM DURING THE STUDY. THE SYSTEM ITSELF DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEATH IN THE STUDY WHICH WAS RELATED TO THE PATIENTS CO MORBIDITY AND NOT THE SURGERY ITSELF.

At 10:35 a.m. on December 2, 2024, Employee #1 was performing maintenance on a sensor inside a robotic enclosure. As he entered the area, the robot was stopped by entrance sensors. While he was cleaning the sensor, a coworker reset the machine from the control panel, unaware that Employee #1 was still inside the enclosure. The robotic arm activated and struck Employee #1, reportedly lifting and placing him onto a roller platform. He sustained multiple internal and external injuries and was killed as a result of the incident.
