Generic Name: Surgical Robot System — Trade Name: Hugo Ras System

Recall Summary Covidien is recalling 14 Hugo RAS surgical robot surgeon consoles due to power supply failures that can cause loss of power to the console during or before surgery. The affected units were shipped between June 2023 and April 2024 and are identified by specific serial numbers. While the system can still be manually operated if power is lost, remote control from the surgeon's console may become impossible, potentially delaying surgery or requiring a switch to another surgical method.
