No. Jnj bought the robot specifically and especially for bronch. Btw, Auris went they fda approval focused on one procedural area and that wAs bronch but I am sure there will be other applications down the road. Titan is going thru fda approval focused on one procedural area (gyn) with other applications down the line.

Again, old info but some need it:
Intuitive has multi-port, single port and bronch surgical robotic platforms all FDA approved and commercially available. Any of the big name players like JNJ that wants to compete will need a multi-port, single port and bronch platform. JNJ has bought their bronch/lung surgical robot in Auris for $5.7 Billion. Now they need multi and single port. Medtronic is way behind w their multi port delayed and no Single or bronch platform on the horizon. Stryker- nothing. Karl Storz- nothing. Olympus - nothing. And on and on.....

IMO - Auris is using some version of Verbs software right now.
