Analyst brief

The record contains two entries, both FDA Class II recalls of the AQUABEAM/AquaBeam Handpiece, a sterile single-use component of the company's surgical system, dated 2019 and 2021, each rated severity 3. Both events are regulator-driven recalls of the same device component rather than reported injury or malfunction events, indicating a recurring quality issue with this specific single-use part across a two-year span. The index of 13.6 and 91.9 percentile place Procept in the low band within medical robotics, consistent with recall-level rather than injury- or fatality-level severity. No fire, cyber, or fatality entries appear in the record.
