Maestro

Moon Surgical's Maestro is a laparoscopic surgical-assistant platform (it holds and positions instruments and the endoscope alongside the surgeon, not a full master-slave teleoperated replacement system) and the assistive-laparoscopy archetype of DEPLOY's surgical cluster, editorially distinct from the replacement-robotics of Intuitive, Medtronic, and CMR. Its ScoPilot software is shipped AI (NVIDIA Holoscan-powered) for intraoperative scope control. On regulatory status (a correction worth recording): the Maestro received FDA 510(k) clearance K240598 on June 5, 2024 (not December 2023), and ScoPilot was FDA-cleared in 2025 with a Predetermined Change Control Plan. As enterprise B2B surgical equipment, there is no consumer price.

Specs

notes

• Verified: Moon Surgical (private; Paris + San Carlos CA; CEO Anne Osdoit; board chair Fred Moll, Intuitive co-founder; backers Sofinnova + NVentures/NVIDIA) makes Maestro, a laparoscopic surgical-ASSISTANT/collaboration robot (holds/positions instruments alongside the surgeon, not a full teleop console). Commercial Maestro FDA 510(k)-cleared Jun 5 2024 (K240598); >1,100 patients treated across US + Europe (company-stated). ~$90M+ raised.
• AI-substance: genuine SHIPPED AI (notable): ScoPilot is a genuine SHIPPED, FDA-cleared AI feature (intraoperative scope control via NVIDIA Holoscan), with a PCCP - not merely demonstrated. This distinguishes Maestro from the teleop-only platforms in this cohort. Maestro itself is a collaborative/assist robot (an honest distinction from full master-slave teleop).
• CORRECTION (pathway): Maestro went the 510(k) route (K240598), NOT de novo (the dispatch hypothesized de novo). De novo around that time was Virtual Incision/MIRA and MMI/Symani - different companies.
• Claimed but NOT verified: CE mark status/date (unverified this pass); exact installed-system count; the 'industry's first AI on a commercial surgical robot' superlative (marketing); the >1,100-patients figure (company-sourced).
