FireFly System for Robotic Surgery

SPY Imaging Technology Integration into the da Vinci® Surgical Robotic System

Novadaq signed License and Development and Supply Agreements with Intuitive Surgical in January 2009, to integrate 3-D HD SPY Imaging into the da Vinci Surgical Robotic System. Intuitive is the global technology leader in robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery. Novadaq began to develop the SPY technology integration into Intuitive Surgical′s da Vinci Surgical Robotic System in January of 2009 and completed the development in August of 2010.

The integrated system, which is referred to as FIREFLY, was cleared for use in robotic surgery by the FDA in February 2011 and the launch of the integrated system was commenced. The FIREFLY system enables surgeons performing robotic surgery to benefit from fluorescence imaging, with initial use in applications ranging from urology to gynecology.
