## Common questions

### What is Monarch Platform?

The Auris Health Monarch Platform is a robotic-assisted bronchoscopy system cleared by the FDA in March 2018, enabling physicians to navigate further into the lung for peripheral pulmonary lesion diagnosis and biopsy than is possible with conventional bronchoscopes. The system uses a 10-DOF bronchoscope-and-sheath design with electromagnetic navigation, an outer sheath of 6.0 mm diameter, an inner scope of 4.4 mm, and a 2.1 mm working channel. Auris Health was acquired by Johnson and Johnson for $3.4 billion in 2019 and the Monarch is now commercialised by J&J MedTech.

### Who makes Monarch Platform?

Monarch Platform is made by Auris Health, based in Redwood City, CA, USA.

### Where is Monarch Platform deployed?

No verified deployments of Monarch Platform are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
