Nothing changed about this robot itself — what you can see is the field shifting around it, or its maker's news rising and ageing.

One reading per day since 3 Aug, when the current ordering began. The rank above is the reading for 13 Oct, taken against 56 robots — the standing itself is live, so a robot added since then counts there and not here yet.

DePuy Synthes Eyes New Standard in Robotic Surgery with RF Tracking

News about DePuy Synthes, the maker — not about this robot specifically, except rows marked this robot. Collected and classified independently across 1 outlet, 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 DePuy Synthes news

19records on file naming VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution

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.
