Auris Health, Inc. has recalled 173 MONARCH Bronchoscopy Platforms because a software issue can cause the robotic arm to move into an unexpected position. If the application restarts at a specific point during setup, the system may reset to the patient's left side even if the right side was originally selected. This unexpected movement could cause the robotic arm to strike the patient or interfere with the endotracheal tube.
The software error may cause the robotic arm to move toward the patient's left side without warning, potentially resulting in physical contact with the patient or dislodging breathing tubes during a procedure.
