8.1
Patients and lawyers have filed multiple lawsuits in the United States alleging that Intelligent Tissue Sensing technology in electrosurgical devices caused thermal injuries, organ perforations, and post-operative complications, according to MAUDE reports and legal filings. The complaints and FDA data highlight that many devices were cleared via the 510(k) pathway rather than rigorous PMA review, raising regulatory and transparency concerns for AI in surgery.
