  3. Calibration and Testing: After evaluation, the robot undergoes calibration procedures to ensure precision and accuracy in its movements. It's then subjected to a series of extensive tests, checking its functionality, accuracy, and adherence to performance standards.

Comprehensive Inspections:

  1. Visual Inspection: A thorough visual inspection is conducted at every stage of the refurbishment process. This includes examining for any signs of damage, corrosion, or irregularities that might impact performance.

  2. Functional Testing: Each component and subsystem of the robot undergoes functional testing. This includes testing movements, articulation, response to commands, and overall system functionality to ensure optimal performance.

  3. Safety Checks: Safety protocols are a top priority. R2 Surgical conducts exhaustive safety checks to verify that all safety features, emergency shutdown mechanisms, and fail-safes are fully operational and compliant with industry standards..

  4. Regulatory Compliance: The entire refurbishment process adheres strictly to regulatory requirements and industry standards, ensuring compliance with all applicable guidelines and regulations.
