I'm sorry, but the table provided does not contain specific data on Intuitive Surgical Inc's interest coverage for the specified quarters. Without this information, a detailed analysis of the company's interest coverage ratio cannot be performed.

To calculate the interest coverage ratio, we typically use the formula:

Interest Coverage Ratio = EBIT / Interest Expense

Where:
- EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) is a measure of a company's operating performance.
- Interest Expense refers to the cost of borrowing for the company.

If you can provide the EBIT and Interest Expense figures for the quarters mentioned in the table, I would be able to calculate and analyze the interest coverage ratio for Intuitive Surgical Inc.
