With our flagship “SSI Mantra” Surgical Robotic System, we have now trained over 50 robotic surgeons, completed over 180 surgeries across multiple specialties on six system installations, and have a rapidly growing pipeline of system orders, initially in India. Other milestones we expect to reach this year include, the development of Mixed Reality based Robotic Surgery Applications for teaching, training, patient education and portable telesurgery. We are also developing a comprehensive robotic surgery ecosystem to centralize patients, surgeons, proctors, clinical engineers, field service technicians, radiology centers, and other key beneficiaries to provide a seamless adoption of robotic surgery around the world for basic surgical healthcare. The systems have obtained all necessary medical device regulatory and commercialization approvals in India, which are also acceptable in many other countries with certain registration processes, and will plan on commencing the FDA and CE approval processes this year. With a strong foundation in place, we look forward to meeting the growing need around the world for our cutting edge and cost effective robotic surgical systems.”
