In such cases, the manufacturer might be required to follow certain patient groups for a number of years and make periodic reports to the FDA on the clinical status of those patients. Clinical trials are almost always required to support a PMA and are sometimes required to support a 510(k) submission.

The standard approach to the removal of the prostate was via an open surgical procedure. The conventional laparoscopic approach is an option, but it is difficult and poses challenges to even the most skilled urologist. The SSi Mantra will enable a larger number of surgeons to convert from using an open surgical technique to a minimally invasive robotic surgical technique.
