Auris Health (J&J MedTech)

Products: surgical-robot, endoluminal-robot. Risk band: Elevated   RobotRisk index 27.4/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 97th percentile of 162 medical robotics companies.

Analyst brief

The record contains three entries, all FDA Class II recalls of the Monarch Platform bronchoscopy/endoscopy system, dated 2023, 2024, and January 2026, each rated severity 3. The recurrence of recalls against the same platform and catalog numbers across three separate years indicates a repeated rather than one-time regulatory action. The index of 27.6 and 96.9 percentile place Auris Health at the top of the medical-robotics category, driven entirely by regulator-issued findings rather than press reporting. The pattern is one of sustained, high-severity regulatory scrutiny concentrated on a single device platform over a multi-year span.
