TransEnterix Gets CE Mark for Additional Surgical System Feature

TransEnterix has received CE mark certification for its Intelligent Surgical Unit (ISU), an addition to the company’s Senhance Surgical System that arms it with machine-vision capabilities.

The machine-vision technology gives the robotic-assisted laparoscopy platform the ability to recognize certain objects and locations in the surgical field. The unit also shares the surgeon’s console view in real-time across the entire operating room for improved collaboration among surgical teams.

This ISU is compatible with Senhance Surgical Systems already installed and with third-party vision systems that are currently supported by Senhance, the company said.
