 field of vision. A fourth instrument arm extends surgical capabilities by enabling the surgeon to add a third instrument to perform additional tasks. The fourth instrument arm is a standard, integrated feature on the da Vinci 5, da Vinci X, da Vinci Xi, and da Vinci Si surgical systems. Our da Vinci single-port (“SP”) surgical system includes a single arm with three multi-jointed, wristed instruments and the first da Vinci fully wristed, 3DHD camera. The instruments and the camera all emerge through a single cannula and are triangulated around the target anatomy to avoid external instrument collisions that can occur in narrow surgical workspaces.

3DHD Vision System.  Our vision system includes a 3DHD endoscope with two independent vision channels linked to two separate color monitors through sophisticated image processing electronics and software. The resulting 3DHD image has high resolution, high contrast, low flicker, and low cross fading. A digital zoom feature in the 3DHD vision system allows surgeons to magnify the surgical field of view without adjusting the endoscope position and, thereby, reduces interference between the endoscope and instruments. The 3DHD vision system is a standard, integrated feature on the da Vinci 5, da Vinci X, da Vinci Xi, da Vinci SP, da Vinci Si, and da Vinci S surgical systems.

Firefly Fluorescence Imaging (“Firefly”).  Firefly is a standard feature of the da Vinci 5, da Vinci X, da Vinci Xi, and da Vinci SP surgical systems and is available as an upgrade on our da Vinci Si surgical system. This imaging capability combines an injectable fluorescent dye with a specialized da Vinci camera head, endoscope, and laser-based illuminator to allow surgeons to identify vasculature, tissue perfusion, or biliary ducts in three dimensions beneath tissue surfaces in real-time. The most common procedural categories for the use of Firefly are urology, gynecology, and general surgery.

Da Vinci Integrated Table Motion.  Integrated Table Motion coordinates the movements of the da Vinci robotic arms with an advanced operating room (“OR”) table, the TS 7000dV OR Table sold by Hillrom (now a part of Baxter International Inc.), to enable managing the patient’s position in real-time while the da Vinci robotic arms remain docked. This gives OR teams the capability to improve the positioning of the operating table during da Vinci surgical system procedures. Integrated Table Motion enables the patient to be dynamically positioned during the procedure. It enables surgeons
