Manufacturer
2 recalls in our database name Zap Surgical Systems as the manufacturing or recalling firm.
Of the 2 recalls from Zap Surgical Systems we have scored against our rubric, 0 (0%) are Critical — deaths or serious injuries reported, or the agency’s own highest classification — and 0 (0%) are Severe.
The manufacturer string comes from the agency’s own source notice — for FDA recalls, the “recalling firm” field; for NHTSA recalls, the vehicle manufacturer; for CPSC recalls, the firm-of-record on the joint press release. A single corporate family can appear under multiple manufacturer strings as agency notices aren’t standardized on a canonical name. If you don’t see recalls you expect, try a parent-company search or a broader full-text search.
Severity scores below are computed from the agency’s classification and the recall text, never from manufacturer behaviour or history. Many manufacturers issue routine corrective actions (software updates, labelling corrections) that are correctly scored low — having recalls on this list isn’t inherently a quality signal.
Zap Surgical Systems is recalling 17 ZAP-X Radiosurgery Systems because a software defect could let the collimator collide with a patient's shoulders or the patient table.
A software issue in the ZAP-X Radiosurgery System may cause incorrect treatment positioning in patients with large rotational deviations. The alignment algorithm could miscalculate treatment table offset values, potentially affecting treatment delivery.
