Answer to Question 1

CAP (College of American Pathologists).

Answer to Question 2

The earliest use of a robot in surgery was in hip replacement operations. Integrated Surgical Systems' ROBODOC, which is currently undergoing U.S. Food and Drug Administrationappro ved clinical trials, is a computer-controlled, image-directed robot that performed its first hip replacement in 1992 . It can be used only with cementless implants, which constitute about one-third of hip replacements each year. ROBODOC has been used in thousands of hip replacement operations worldwide. Because ROBODOC actually cuts into a patient's femur, however, there have to be strict built-in safeguards. These safeguards come from the program that controls the robot and physical limitations on how much ROBODOC can move.
