Brainlab

Robot types: Neurosurgical / ablation robot, Ortho robot. Risk band: Low   RobotRisk index 6.5/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 24 of 25 among Medical robotics companies with incidents (274 tracked).

Analyst brief

The register carries a single entry for Brainlab: a 2016 FDA Class II recall of the ExacTrac Vero patient positioning system used in radiation therapy, logged at severity 3. This is a regulator-driven record, not a press-driven one, and reflects a single isolated event rather than a repeating pattern. The dataset provides no basis to characterize trajectory beyond this one decade-old entry.
