News about Intuitive Surgical, the maker, not about this robot specifically, except rows marked this robot. Collected and classified independently across 30 outlets, so a maker cannot add to it. It never changes this robot's RoboScore (the evidence half of the RoboIndex) and it can move it up a board by at most 15 points. See all Intuitive Surgical news
Public loss record
FDA MAUDE
A filing records that someone reported something. It is not a finding that the robot caused it, and we make no such finding. Registers that compel reporting collect more filings from the makers who comply, so a longer record is not a worse product.
