DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS</b></font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Intuitive Surgical, Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets the <i>da Vinci</i> Surgical System and related instruments and accessories, which taken together, are advanced surgical system that the Company believes represents a new generation of surgery. The Company believes that this new generation of surgery, which the Company calls <i>da Vinci</i> Surgery, combines the benefits of minimally invasive surgery (&#x201C;MIS&#x201D;) for patients with the ease of use, precision and dexterity of open surgery. A <i>da Vinci</i> Surgical System consists of a surgeon&#x2019;s console, a patient-side cart and a high performance vision system. The <i>da Vinci</i> Surgical System translates a surgeon&#x2019;s natural hand movements, which are performed on instrument controls at a console, into corresponding micro-movements of instruments positioned inside the patient through small incisions, or ports. The <i>da Vinci</i> Surgical System is designed to provide its operating surgeons with intuitive control, range of motion, fine tissue manipulation capability and 3-D, High-Definition (&#x201C;HD&#x201D;) vision while simultaneously allowing them to work through the small ports of MIS.</font></p> </div>

The accounting estimates that require management&#x2019;s most significant, difficult and subjective judgments include the valuation and recognition of investments, the valuation of the revenue and allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts, the estimation of hedging transactions; the valuation of inventory, the assessment of recoverability of intangible assets and their estimated useful lives, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation and the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.</font></p> </div>
