A group of heart surgery patients are taking Intuitive Surgical (NSDQ:ISRG) to court, claiming its da Vinci surgical robot caused metallic debris to end up in their brains after mitral valve surgery.
The complaint was filed this week in Georgia’s Northern District Court.
Plaintiffs in the case, Gabrial Nassar Cure and Dr. Alan Kozarsky, claim that Intuitive Surgical and up to 10 John Does designed, manufactured and marketed the da Vinci device despite knowing of defects that could cause metallic microemboli in patients as a result of such surgeries, according to court documents.
