Aesculap Inc. is recalling 19 units of the Aeos Robotic Digital Microscope (Product Code PV010) because a safety mechanism can fail. When the emergency stop button is pressed, the robotic arm may drop more than 10 centimeters from its original position instead of locking securely in place. This recall affects specific serial numbers of the device distributed across 11 states in the U.S.
If the robotic arm drops unexpectedly during a medical procedure, it could strike a patient or medical staff, potentially causing serious physical injury or disrupting a delicate surgical operation.
