Preventative maintenance data was used to identify instrument Arms, part of surgical systems, that allow surgeons to perform surgical tasks, that may be at risk of insertion ballscrew failure, allowing for uncontrolled carriage movement along the insertion axis, which may cause tissue injury.
On 01/24/2023, New Field Safety Notices were sent to customers. In addition, some customers received another notice informing them that additional preventative maintenance data would need to be collected by the recalling firm's field service personnel, to determine if additional devices were affected. On 1/27/2023, updated New Field Safety Notices were sent to two additional customers. Customers were asked to do the following: 1) Review this Field Safety Notification with all system users and place a copy of it with Instructions for use (IFU) of the system. 2) Complete and return the Acknowledgment Form via email to [email protected] The recalling firm will replace instrument arms found to be affected and will update the Preventive Maintenance Test to include the same analysis/method of processing Insertion Axis Friction Data that was used for determining the affected product for this Field Safety Notice so any new USM that may become susceptible will get addressed as part of the same.
