The Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic Instrument Control System (da Vinci SP Surgical System, Model SP1098) is intended to assist in the accurate control of Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist SP Instruments during urologic, colorectal, and general thoracoscopic surgical procedures that are appropriate for a single port approach, and transoral otolaryngology surgical procedures in the oropharynx restricted to benign tumors and malignant tumors classified as T1 and T2. The system is indicated for adult use. It is intended for use by trained physicians in an operating room environment in accordance with the representative, specific procedures set forth in the Professional Instructions for Use.

Intuitive Surgical da Vinci SP Instruments are controlled by the da Vinci SP Surgical System, Model SP1098, and include flexible endoscopes, blunt and sharp endoscopic dissectors, scissors, forceps/pick-ups, needle holders, endoscopic retractors, electrocautery and accessories for endoscopic manipulation of tissue, including grasping, cutting, blunt and sharp dissection, approximation, ligation, electrocautery, and suturing through a single port. The system is indicated for urologic, colorectal, and general thoracoscopic surgical procedures that are appropriate for a single port approach, and transoral otolaryngology surgical procedures in the oropharynx restricted to benign tumors and malignant tumors classified as T1 and T2. The system is indicated for adult use. It is intended for use by trained physicians in an operating room environment in accordance with the representative, specific procedures set forth in the Professional Instructions for Use.

The da Vinci E-200 Electrosurgical Generator is intended to deliver high-frequency energy for cutting, coagulation and vessel sealing of tissues in da Vinci robotic procedures, and non-robotic open and laparoscopic procedures.
