Davinci- what a scam

you think it is great news when your company's stock keeps closing in the red...??? you must have opted for the "robotic assisted" neurosurgery...

 

incredible return

 

Obviously, you have no clue how the stock market works.

 

Right... just a guess but I wouldn’t want it closing in the red... I also wouldn’t buy stock in a company that was built like a house of cards... go fix your pos robot so it stops killing people...

 

Intuitive Surgical, are you warning patients about this known issue which causes arcing? I hope so! Monsanto is writing checks for 270+ million dollars for failing to do just that!!

“The former school groundskeeper sued the company, arguing that an herbicide in the weed killer Roundup, likely caused the disease. His lawyers also contended Monsanto failed to warn consumers about the alleged risk from their product. “

“Wire breakage at weld is a known issue which is not attributed to mishandling/misuse engineering has determined that the failure related to this complaint, the conductor wire pulling out from the weld location at the base of the instrument, is not user interaction related. the charring damage found during failure analysis suggests that arcing occurred “

“On Friday, a San Francisco jury agreed. They deliberated for three days before awarding Johnson $250 million in punitive damages and $39 million in compensatory damages.

"The jury found Monsanto acted with malice and oppression because they knew what they were doing was wrong and doing it with reckless disregard for human life," said Robert F. Kennedy Jr., one of Johnson's attorneys, according to the Associated Press.”

 

Didn’t we have the same type of internal emails circling ISI which were released in the Pohly documents?? The reason why Intuitive Surgical ALWAYS settles.....

Yep... intuitive Surgical has definitely not learned its lesson... history keeps repeating itself as you can read below:

Pohly v. Intuitive Surgical, Inc.
Case No. 5:15-CV-04113-MEJ.

United States District Court, N.D. California.

Disclosure of Expert Witnesses ...................................................November 4, 2016
Disclosure of Rebuttal Expert Witnesses...................................November 14, 2016
Last day for depositions of expert witnesses .............................. December 6, 2016


Richard Pohly has filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the da Vinci robot, claiming the device left him with permanent and disabling injuries.

The plaintiff further states that the manufacturer was fully aware of the risks associated with their product, but failed to alert the medical community and general public. In addition, the company is charged with failing to take steps to reduce those risks by issuing a recall or making changes that would have made da Vinci surgery safer for patients.

Complaint filed in California court
Richard Pohly filed his complaint in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on September 9, 2015. The plaintiff chose this particular court for filing because two similar cases were already before the court. Both previous cases had been filed by insurance companies on behalf of their injured clients and both involved injuries caused by the da Vinci robotic system. The defendant in all three of these cases is Intuitive Surgical Inc., the manufacturer of the da Vinci robot.

Pohly states in his complaint that he underwent a prostatectomy using the da Vinci robotic system on July 31, 2012. The procedure was performed at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT) in Dallas, Texas. Pohly asserts that at the time of his surgery, neither he nor his surgical team were aware of the risk for potential burning of tissue and organs from stray electrical energy emitted from the device.

During Pohly’s surgery, stray electrical energy was emitted from the da Vinci robot, which resulted in internal burning and severe rectal injuries. Pohly’s surgeon was unaware of the burns at the time of the procedure. It was not until after the procedure that Pohly realized the complications were caused by the da Vinci device.

Pohly claims that his thermal injuries have caused him “physical pain, mental anguish, emotional distress, disfigurement and physical impairment.” The injuries have requiredextensive medical treatment and surgeries, which have caused the plaintiff substantial pain and expense. Pohly claims his injuries have affected his business opportunities and have left him with a lower quality of life overall.

Allegations company knew of risks
Pohly’s da Vinci robot lawsuit against Intuitive Surgical alleges the company knew about the risks associated with their device for some time, but continued to actively market the robotic system as the “most effective and least invasive treatment option for a wide range of complex conditions.” Despite these claims on the company’s website, Pohly insists in his complaint that the defendant could not have known their product was the most effective, since no large-scale, randomized trials had been performed on the device at that time.

As the robotic system continued to be used in operating rooms across the country, reports of serious complications, including thermal injuries, raised concerns among the medical community. In August 2011, the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology published a study that found a significant number of insulation failures with the device, which could lead to thermal injuries or internal burning. The study also concluded that robotic devices like the da Vinci had a higher rate of insulation failure than laparoscopic instruments.

FDA launches investigation
In April 2013, after a spike in adverse reports involving the da Vinci robotic system, the FDA launched an investigation into the device to determine its safety. At that time, the number of surgical complications associated with the da Vinci system had increased 34 percent between 2011 and 2012. The FDA survey also followed a number of additional studies performed on the robotic system, which found the device to be costlier, without offering significant benefits over laparoscopic procedures.

In his complaint, Pohly is seeking both compensatory and punitive damages for pain and suffering, medical expenses and other non-economic losses.

 

Another summer has come and gone, and ISIS is stronger than ever...shame.

 

There is nothing strong about a house of cards...

 

“The steep Trendelenburg position provides the optimal exposure of the pelvis and the lower abdomen.18 Placing the patients in this position for extended periods can lead to significant physiologic consequences. For example, the downward movement of the diaphragm by abdominal contents and pneumoperitoneum can decrease pulmonary compliance and functional residual capacity, cause pulmonary edema, and exacerbate ventilation/perfusion mismatch.16,26,27”

Bravo!!!

 

amazing film - the bleeding edge!! “Also, the da Vinci system (Intuitive Surgical), which was profiled in the film, is used for robotic-assisted mitral valve repair, yet “to the best of my knowledge, robotic-assisted cardiac surgery has not been studied in a randomized trial to prove its safety and efficacy,” Suh said. “So yes, within cardiology and cardiac surgery, we need to be mindful of how our devices are approved and marketed to ensure that what we are doing is in our patients’ best interest.”

Please explain how Intuitive is a “house of cards”.

 

Isrg $535 and climbing. We know who the dwas rats are.

 

What % of the procedures is Da Vinci doing doing ... 6-7% ?? And you think you’re relevant??

 

Great! Who are we in that case?? Would love to know who you think we are... now go fix your shitty robot.

 

Please explain why your new recalls are for “nonconforming “ materials? What’s happening in manufacturing ?? Issues at Easton and white rock still??

 

WOW ISRG $539.29 and climbing Ready to hit 52-wk high. How'd that Netflix Comedy work out ?

 

The Intuitive Surgical Da Vinci robotic surgery comedy of errors???!!
