Important safety information

For important safety information, please refer to www.intuitive.com/safety. For a product’s intended use and/or indications for use, risks, full cautions, and warnings, please refer to the associated user manual(s).

Da Vinci SimNow

Da Vinci SimNow is intended to augment, not replace, existing training programs for the da Vinci surgical systems.

Product training

Training provided by Intuitive is limited to the use of the da Vinci surgical system and does not replace the necessary medical training and experience required to perform surgery. The da Vinci surgical system should be used only by surgeons who have received specific training in its use. Before performing any procedure using a da Vinci system, physicians are responsible for receiving sufficient training and proctoring to ensure that they have the skill and experience necessary to protect the health and safety of their patients.
