I think the TRXC FDA approval is much more beneficial to us than ISRGs. da Vinci had four arms poking into the abdomen. Earlier marketing info for Senhance showed four arms, but it appears the FDA only approved a three-armed version, and one of those looks like the camera, with the other two being two end effectors. They may have needed to submit the AI per the FDA's request to show that the approved indications can be accomplished with only two end effectors. Now that a two-handed device is approved, SPORT has a better "substantial equivalence" claim than TRXC did going into their submission process. Meanwhile, TRXC will probably be going after more indications, which will all be to our benefit. Just my thoughts and observations on the matter...
