 Brokers, banks, and other nominees have the power to vote without receiving voting instructions from beneficial owners on Proposal No. 3, so the Company expects no broker non-votes on this proposal. For Proposal Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6, broker non-votes are not deemed to be entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether stockholder approval of a matter has been obtained. As a result, broker non-votes are not included in the tabulation of voting results for these proposals for purposes of determining whether proposals have been approved. In order to minimize the number of broker non-votes, the Company encourages you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares by carefully following instructions provided on the Notice.

Are there any other matters at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?

We do not know of any matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than those mentioned in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that the proxies will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons voting the proxies.

#### Can I change my vote?
You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is actually voted at the Annual Meeting by any of the following:

• Delivering written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary at 1020 Kifer Road, Sunnyvale, California 94086;

• Submitting a later dated proxy; or

• Attending the Annual Meeting in person at 1020 Kifer Road, Sunnyvale, California 94086, or virtually online by visiting and following the instructions posted at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ISRG2025 .

Your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, constitute revocation of your proxy. You may also be represented by another person present in attendance at the Annual Meeting by executing a form of proxy designating that person to act on your behalf. Shares may only be voted by or on behalf of the record holder of shares as indicated in our stock transfer records. If you are a beneficial stockholder but your shares are held of record by another person, such as a stock brokerage firm or bank, that person must vote the shares as the record holder in accordance with the beneficial holder’s instructions.

Who bears the cost of proxy solicitation and who is soliciting proxies on our behalf?

We will bear the expense of soliciting proxies, including the expense of preparing, printing, and mailing this Proxy Statement and the proxies we solicit. Proxies
