−Removed: systems remains largely limited to developed countries such as the United States, the European Union (the “ EU ’) and
−Removed: With the SSi Mantra, we are breaking down barriers
−Removed: and accelerating access to surgical robotics technologies in underserved regions of the world.
−Removed: Developed by a visionary team of surgeons, engineers
−Removed: and industry veterans, the SSi Mantra includes several innovative features to address shortcomings of the current generation of robotic
−Removed: surgery systems.
−Removed: We commenced development of the SSi Mantra in
−Removed: 2014, received regulatory approval by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (“ CDSCO ”) India’s equivalent
−Removed: Food and Drug Administration (“ FDA ”), for its sale and use in India and commercially launched sales in
−Removed: We also received ISO 13485 (quality management system) approval for the SSi Mantra 3.
