Intuitive Surgical ISRG -17.73% was in freefall Monday evening, thanks to preliminary quarterly results that fell drastically short of expectations.

The maker of the robotic da Vinci surgical system said it expects second-quarter revenue of $575 million. That would mark a 7% increase from a year ago but is a far cry from the $630 million Wall Street anticipated. Intuitive Surgical expects net income of $160 million, a 3% increase from $155 million in 2012.
