A 2nd insurance company accuses Intuitive Surgical of concealing legal claims filed against the medical device company over its da Vinci surgical robot. Intuitive Surgical (NSDQ:ISRG) is facing a lawsuit from another insurance company alleging that it hid legal claims filed over its da Vinci surgical robot.
