Hugo > NoGo?

Every time Geoff talks about Hugo it's a different problem like supply chain (boards), something in manufacturing, but then also says "we want to get it right for the customer." Sounds like it doesn't work right?

Is there a comparison between systems from J&J, Intuitive, MDT - who else?
 
































Geoff tells Wall Street that Hugo is going really well, maybe a couple of issues to fix and supply chain. Doesn't that make it sound like it's actually being used?

Then Medtronic reports on Feb 7 the very first use in Europe of Hugo.

It's so far behind what Geoff is claiming. Years behind.

Hope it's a competitive system.
 
























































This thread started 3 years ago - I think we can answer the question.

Yes - Hugo is No Go.

Yes it cost Medtronic over $1 billion - and it's still not available. In the meantime, Intuitive released Da Vinci 5.

The consultants under the new CEO will be debating what went wrong after Geoff is fired

Where did we go wrong here? Too late to take it all back but so far away from being competitive. Wonder why we decided to go head to head vs more niche like a few other players gaining traction where Intuitive is not

Where didn’t Medtronic go wrong? The most inefficient and unimpressive company imaginable. Absolutely nothing gets done. So glad to be gone from this absolute shit hole
