da Vinci Xi is one of the models in the da Vinci family of robotic surgical systems made by Intuitive Surgical. The da Vinci family is a minimally invasive surgery platform consisting of a surgeon's console and a patient-side cart with interactive robotic arms that act as surgical instruments and camera control. da Vinci systems received initial FDA clearance in 2000 and are used in urology, gynecology, general laparoscopy, thoracoscopy and other fields. NOTE: the specific parameters and launch date of the da Vinci Xi model could not be confirmed from a source here, because Intuitive's official product pages are dynamically rendered and their content could not be retrieved; they require verification against the manufacturer's materials.
