Asensus Surgical has recalled (Class 1) its Senhance Surgical System due to malfunctions that cause unintended movement of the robotically assisted surgical device. “This issue presented itself as an uncontrolled arm motion of the Laparoscope Instrument Actuator (LIA) where the LIA rotated continuously in one direction after the Surgeon removed the engagement of teleoperation on the Senhance System,” a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/asensus-surgical-inc-recalls-senhance-surgical-system-due-malfunctions-unintended-movement?ref=fdaweb.com) says. It notes that the device is designed with “emergency stop capabilities to stop this issue if observed.” The device is intended for use in general laparoscopic surgical procedures and laparoscopic gynecological surgery.
