(ISRG) reported its third-quarter 2014 financial results, showing a 10% increase in total revenue to $550.1 million, driven by higher system shipments and recurring service revenue.

The company also launched its new da Vinci Xi Surgical System, aiming to broaden its product offerings and address diverse surgical needs. Despite revenue growth, operating income decreased by 9% year-over-year for the quarter, impacted by increased selling, general, and administrative expenses, including costs related to establishing a direct sales organization in Japan and higher legal expenses.
