Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi completes Middle East's first MONARCH robotic bronchoscopy
Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi completed the Middle East's first robotically assisted bronchoscopy using the MONARCH Platform and reported the region's first clinical use of MONARCH QUEST navigation.
Evidence notes
- MONARCH guides a flexible endoscope through the lung airways to biopsy small, hard-to-reach nodules.
- The completed procedure establishes clinical use at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi.
- The event does not imply regulatory clearance or installed-base expansion across every Middle Eastern market.
Company context
Auris Health develops the MONARCH robot-assisted endoscopy platform for bronchoscopic and urologic procedures. Johnson & Johnson acquired Auris in 2019, and the company remains part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech.
