trxc Senhance platform is going through 510k process. The usual time frame after the response letter is 30-60 days. It is ce marked and has 20 installations, most of them in EU. One in Florida hospital for their r&d program. 510k clearance will result in US sales no doubt. How well the system sells in the US post clearance is open question since isrg has the market. Senhance competes by allowing existing lap devices to be used with it which is a plus and much more economical than the proprietary tools that one has to use with Da Vinci. SYK and NVDQ can be used with Senhance as examples. IMO haptics is important and something Da Vinci does not have yet. The other platform that they have worked on is a single port robotised version of their spider lap system called Surgibot. That was rejected in the past because the FDA ruled that it is too different than the spider to go through the 510k route. isrg is also worked on single port robot and I haven't looked into the stasis of that.
