On Monday, plaintiff Surgical Instrument Service Company, Inc (SIS). filed a complaint in the Northern District of California against the defendant Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (Intuitive), for antitrust violations related to the purchasing agreements of surgical robots. The defendant allegedly threatened to withhold technical support, replacement instruments, and servicing for the EndoWrist robotic surgery systems purchased by hospitals, health care systems, and group purchasing organizations (GPO).
According to the filing, complex surgeries are executed remotely by a surgeon using a multi-arm “da Vinci” surgical robot. EndoWrists are a component for controlling and moving the surgical robot.
