"Did either the company or the hospital make a claim that this was "Third Party Validation"? NO!!! That would be a huge accomplishment worthy of a PR and any company would have capitalized on such great news."
Apparently, Raiderman and Milchip don't understand what "Third Party" means.
There's the maker/seller of the product (First Party) and the receiver/buyer/end-user of the product (Second Party).
A Third Party is an independent entity that can objectively evaluate the product and has no conflict of interest with either other Party.
A fail to see a Third Party mentioned in the PR. Some people aren't being honest with themselves IMO.
