Zimmer Biomet Warns on Movement Issue for Its Rosa Surgical Robotic Platforms
Zimmer Biomet today issued a voluntary medical device field action for its Rosa Brain, Rosa Spine and Rosa One surgical robotic platforms over movement issues with the systems’ robotic arms.
The company said that a situation can occur where the robot arm’s position is automatically sent to the trajectory input due to an imperfect mathematical model that could prevent the arm from reaching its desired position.
If the error occurs during isocentric micromoves used in brain surgeries while instrumentation is already in place inside the patient’s anatomy, the company warned that a hazardous situation could occur.
