## Status

Ottava, from J&J MedTech (Ethicon), is a soft-tissue general-surgery robotic platform with four arms integrated into the operating table, announced in 2020. It is pre-market: a De Novo request was submitted to the FDA in January 2026, and Ottava is not authorized to be marketed. DEPLOY classifies it research tier under the FDA-clearance-as-gating-event framework: J&J's corporate scale does not translate into verified surgical-robotics deployment, so Ottava sits at the same research tier as far smaller pre-market entrants. Surfacing that on a household-name corporate is the framework's discipline applied without exception.
