EndoQuest Robotics

EndoQuest Robotics is a Houston, Texas medical device company — founded in 2017 and operating as ColubrisMX until its June 2022 rebrand — developing what it calls the world's first flexible endoluminal robotic surgical system. Its Endoluminal Surgical (ELS) System pairs an ergonomic physician console (high-definition monitor, hand controllers, foot pedals) with a mobile patient cart and positioning arm, driving two 6mm flexible robotic instruments and a 3.7mm high-definition robotic camera through the EndoDrive, with up to seven degrees of freedom and additional channels for insufflation, suction, irrigation and third-party accessories. The design targets scar-free minimally invasive procedures inside the gastrointestinal tract — including appendectomy and cholecystectomy — performed through natural orifices or a single transumbilical incision. The company was accepted into the FDA's Safer Technologies Program in December 2023, received an investigational device exemption in December 2024, and began first colorectal cases in its PARADIGM pivotal multicenter study in May 2025. The system is not FDA-cleared and is not for commercial sale. EndoQuest sells surgical robotics hardware, not software: it publishes no API, developer portal, SDK, or machine-readable contract of any kind, and its nine-page marketing site carries no developer surface.

EndoQuest Robotics is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Medical Devices, Surgical Robotics, Robotics, and Endoluminal Surgery.

EndoQuest Robotics’ developer surface includes engineering blog and 12 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/endoquest-robotics: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
