About CMR Surgical
CMR Surgical develops Versius, a modular robot-assisted system for minimally invasive surgery. Independent bedside units allow a hospital to deploy only the camera and instrument arms required for a procedure and position ports around the patient. An open surgeon console provides three-dimensional high-definition vision and controls small wristed instruments for grasping, cutting, dissection, ligation, electrosurgery and suturing.
Versius Plus adds fluorescence imaging and a digital ecosystem around each case. Versius Connect combines telemetry, synchronised video and instrument timelines for surgeons, while Versius Team helps staff reproduce operating-room setup and monitor utilisation. CMR couples installation with simulation, virtual-reality and competency-based training. The platform has exceeded 45,000 procedures globally, and its regulatory indications vary by market, including U.S. clearance for cholecystectomy in eligible adults.

The recall covers two V-SS-1020 consoles running Pratchett 1 version 62.1 that were distributed in California. The firm initiated the recall on June 9, 2026 and the corrective action is to notify customers and configure secure boot on the affected consoles. Updated instructions tell users to keep the system in a secure environment and inspect tamper-evident labels before use.
