FDA OKs New Intuitive Surgical Operating Table Combo

FDA has cleared an Intuitive Surgical 510(k) for an integrated operating table motion claim for the da Vinci Xi Surgical System. Integrated table motion combines the da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical system and Trumpf Medical’s advanced operating table, the TruSystem 7000dV, to allow surgeons and anesthesiologists the ability to make a range of table adjustments easily during a surgical procedure, according to the company. It also gives operating room teams, while conducting robot-assisted surgery, the ability to leverage the operating table’s capabilities to:

Position the table so that gravity exposes anatomy during multi-quadrant da Vinci System procedures;Maximize reach and access to target anatomy – enabling surgeons to interact with tissue at an ideal working angle; andReposition the table during the procedure to enhance anesthesiologists’ care of the patient.
