If you purchased shares of TransEnterix and would like to discuss your legal rights and how this case might affect you and your right to recover for your economic loss, you may, without obligation or cost to you, call toll-free at 1-877-515-1850 or email KSF Managing Partner Lewis Kahn (lewis.kahn@ksfcounsel.com).

About the Lawsuit

TransEnterix and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. 

The alleged false and misleading statements and omissions include, but are not limited to, that: (i) there were deficiencies with TransEnterix’s 510(k) application to the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regarding its SurgiBot System, a single-port, robotically enhanced laparoscopic surgical platform, that undermined the likelihood that the SurgiBot would receive FDA clearance; (ii) as a result, TransEnterix would be unable to commercialize the SurgiBot in 2016; and (iii) consequently, TransEnterix’s ability to obtain approval for and commercialize its other robotic surgery platform in the U.S. would be impaired.
