<p></p>
<b>Intuitive Surgical Announces Record $72.1 Million Fourth Quarter Revenue, Up 60%</b>
<p>SUNNYVALE, CA -- 02/02/2006 --  Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (NASDAQ: ISRG), the
industry leader in surgical robotics, today reported fourth quarter 2005
sales of $72.1 million, increasing 60% from $45.2 million for the fourth
quarter of 2004.   Higher sales were driven by increased da Vinci&#174;
Surgical System sales and continued growth in recurring revenue.
</p>
<p>
Intuitive sold 40 da Vinci&#174; Surgical Systems during the fourth quarter of
2005, compared to 25 in the fourth quarter of 2004.  Fourth quarter 2005
system revenue increased to $41.3 million from $27.1 million during the
fourth quarter of 2004.
</p>
<p>
Fourth quarter 2005 recurring revenue, consisting of instrument, accessory,
service and training revenue, increased 70% to $30.8 million from $18.1
million during the fourth quarter of 2004.  Recurring revenue growth
resulted from a larger installed base of da Vinci&#174; Surgical Systems and
increased system usage.
</p>
<p>
Intuitive reported net sales of $227.3 million for the year ended December
31, 2005, increasing 64% from $138.8 million in 2004.

<p>
Fourth quarter 2005 operating income increased to $23.5 million, up from
$10.9 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2004.
</p>
<p>
During the fourth quarter 2005, the company released a valuation allowance
on its deferred tax asset, resulting in a negative income tax expense of
$24.1 million for the period.  Including the impact of this tax event, the
company reported fourth quarter 2005 net income of $49.5 million, or $1.31
per diluted share, compared to $11.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share
for the fourth quarter of 2004.  Cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments ended the period at $202.7 million, up $13.3 million from last
quarter.
</p>
<p>
Commenting on the announcement, Lonnie Smith, Chairman and CEO of Intuitive
Surgical, said, "We are pleased with our fourth quarter revenue and
earnings growth.  These financial results reflect the continued adoption of
da Vinci Surgery in the marketplace and the progress we have made toward
our mission of extending the benefits of minimally invasive surgery to the
broadest possible base of patients."
</p>
<p>
The company will also announce these results at a conference call today at
1:30 pm PDT.  The dial-in numbers for the call are 877-909-3508 for
participants located in the U.S. and 517-645-6051 for participants located

About Intuitive's Products:
</p>
<p>
The da Vinci&#174; Surgical System consists of a surgeon's viewing and control
console having an integrated, high-performance InSite&#174; 3-D vision system,
a patient-side cart consisting of three or four robotic arms that position
and precisely maneuver endoscopic instruments and an endoscope, and a
variety of articulating EndoWrist&#174; Instruments.  By integrating
computer-enhanced technology with surgeons' technical skills, Intuitive
believes that its system enables surgeons to perform better surgery in a
manner never before experienced.  The da Vinci&#174; Surgical System
seamlessly and directly translates the surgeon's natural hand, wrist and
finger movements on instrument controls at the surgeon's console outside
the patient's body into corresponding micro-movements of the instrument
tips positioned inside the patient through small puncture incisions, or
ports.
</p>
<p>
The Aesop&#174; Endoscope Positioner is a voice-activated robotic arm that
automates the critical task of endoscope positioning, providing the surgeon
with direct control over a smooth, precise and stable view of the internal
surgical field.
</p>
<p>
The Hermes&#174; Control Center is a centralized system designed to voice
control a series of networked "smart" medical devices.
