Mazor Robotics Ltd is recalling 94 units of the Mazor X (Model REF TPL0059) stereotaxic orthopedic instrument due to software errors. These anomalies can cause the screen to lag during navigated surgery or display incorrect information that does not match the actual screw being used. The firm initiated this voluntary recall via letter to ensure healthcare providers are aware of these critical navigation issues. If you or a family member have a surgery scheduled using this device, you should contact your surgical team or healthcare provider to discuss the status of the equipment.
A lagging display or a mismatch between the navigated screw and the information on the screen can cause a surgeon to place surgical hardware inaccurately. This poses a risk of incorrect screw placement, which could lead to nerve damage, vascular injury, or the need for additional corrective surgery.
