bbhuey: My guess is that only two handsets (re duct-and-vessel sealing) and VAD.400 generator were submitted for approval during that round. To recall discussions here some while ago, there was apparent evidence that FDA delay of approval was exacerbated by 1) illness of primary examiner and 2) time needed for development of "generation 3" handsets, i.e., the ones approved. However, anything is possible.
These are my opinions and sentiments only. Take them for what they're worth. Do your DD. Buying stocks is risky!
