We found 10 models of Hugo RAS by Covidien LP in the FDA's device registry (GUDID). Together they are named in 77 adverse event reports in the FDA's MAUDE database, received between Dec 12, 2025 and Sep 30, 2026 — classified as 3 injuries, 74 malfunctions.

The most frequently reported specific device problem is “Display or Visual Feedback Problem” (23 reports).

Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.

  It was reported that, prior to a robotic laparoscopic partial nephrectomy procedure, while the patient was in the operating room, during docking and instrument insertion, the Secure Cadiere Forceps would not insert into the trocar and did not move. The team attempted to reconnect the instrument, but ultimately decided to use a new Secure Cadiere Forceps, which worked properly. There was no patient injury.

• MalfunctionSep 8, 2026Intermittent Communication Failure

  It was reported that during a robotic-assisted liver resection laparoscopic procedure, during initial instrument attachment after do cking, the Bipolar Fenestrated Grasper (BFG) displayed a message indicating that it could not be recognized by the arm or Sterile Interface Module (SIM), and insertion was disabled. Undocking, unbraking the cart, redocking, and retrying insertion did not resolve the issue. A different instrument was then attached to confirm functionality of the arm and SIM, and that instrument inserted successfully. The BFG was replaced with another instrument, and the case proceeded. There was no injury to the patient.
