Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG) introduced at this time that it secured FDA 510(ok) clearance for its next-generation da Vinci 5 multiport surgical robotics system.
The information comes lower than two months after the dominant surgical robotics developer disclosed that it had submitted for the much-anticipated clearance, revealing the identify of the brand new system within the course of. (Right here is our roundup of prime surgical robotics firms.)
Da Vinci joins a deep portfolio of options from Intuitive
The da Vinci 5 joins Intuitive’s present da Vinci robotic surgical system portfolio alongside the multiport X and Xi techniques and the single-port SP. There may be additionally Ion, Intuitive’s robotic-assisted platform for minimally invasive biopsy within the lung.
“We’re happy to obtain FDA clearance for our fifth-generation robotic system, da Vinci 5,” CEO Gary Guthart stated in a information launch after the market closed.
“Intuitive is dedicated to significant enhancements in surgical procedure that allow higher affected person outcomes, improve the affected person and care staff experiences, and in the end decrease the full price of care,” he continued. “After greater than a decade of cautious analysis, design, growth, and testing, we consider da Vinci 5 will ship on these targets and assist drive the way forward for robotic-assisted surgical procedure.”
Da Vinci 5 options:
Intuitive shared extra particulars about how the da Vinci 5 improves on earlier da Vinci robots.

The corporate says new surgeon controllers and highly effective vibration and tremor controls make the da Vinci 5 the smoothest and most exact system it has developed thus far;
Intuitive says the da Vinci 5 has a next-generation 3D show and picture processing, offering a high-quality and pure imaging expertise. The objective is to allow surgeons to see extra at this time and assist future generations of surgical endoscopes and imaginative and prescient software program.
Da Vinci 5 introduces Pressure Suggestions expertise and non-compulsory devices that allow the system to measure and surgeons to really feel refined forces exerted on tissue throughout surgical procedure. Intuitive says this function is one thing no different surgical expertise in any modality presently gives. Intuitive says preclinical trials confirmed surgical procedures with Pressure Suggestions demonstrated as much as 43% much less drive exerted on tissue, which might lead to much less trauma on tissue.
Along with probably much less tissue trauma, Pressure Suggestions will add an vital new knowledge stream to surgical knowledge science, in line with Intuitive. (Be aware: The Pressure Suggestions devices are non-compulsory to be used with da Vinci; they cleared for most of the identical procedures as da Vinci Xi.)

Da Vinci 5 additionally has options to assist improve surgeon autonomy and streamline surgeon and care staff workflow, boosting healthcare effectivity. For instance, da Vinci 5 has built-in key OR applied sciences, together with insufflation and an electrosurgical unit. There may be additionally an optimized consumer interface, with settings which can be accessible by the broader surgical staff and by the surgeon straight from the head-in menu. Plus, surgeons can entry different key settings whereas head-in to assist them keep centered on the surgical discipline.
Da Vinci 5 has greater than 10,000 occasions the computing energy of da Vinci Xi. Intuitive says the vastly boosted computing energy permits revolutionary new system capabilities and superior digital experiences — now and sooner or later. There may be integration with Intuitive’s My Intuitive app, SimNow (digital actuality simulator), Case Insights (computational observer), and Intuitive Hub (edge computing system).
Options to extend surgeon consolation embrace a redesigned console able to customizable positioning, permitting surgeons to search out their finest match for surgical viewing and luxury. Surgeons even have the flexibility to sit down fully upright. The surgeon could make any crucial changes whereas their head is within the console. As well as, there are alternatives designed to suit completely different physique varieties, together with surgeons who’re pregnant.

Restricted availability for preliminary launch
Da Vinci 5 will initially be out there to a small variety of prospects within the U.S. who collaborated with Intuitive in the course of the growth interval and people with mature robotic surgical procedure packages. The corporate’s objective is to work with surgeons at these preliminary websites to generate extra knowledge on the system’s use earlier than a wider industrial introduction.
“We attempt to offer prospects with expertise that meets their wants and solves vital issues,” stated Intuitive Chief Medical Officer Dr. Myriam Curet. “We intend to launch da Vinci 5 extra broadly within the U.S. and globally after we be taught from and work with an preliminary smaller variety of prospects straight.”
Curet mentioned the key behind Intuitive’s surgical robotics success final 12 months with our sibling website Medical Design & Outsourcing.
For an inside take a look at what the Da Vinci 5 is able to, register now to attend DeviceTalks Boston. Intuitive EVP and Chief Digital Officer Brian Miller will assessment a few of the futuristic performance of the brand new system in a closing keynote, “Intuitive: The Future is Now with da Vinci 5.”
Be taught from Agility Robotics, Amazon, Disney, Teradyne and lots of extra.
