CEO interview .... We are actively enrolling patients into the pivotal study, which we expect to support regulatory submission for potential FDA clearance of the APPY1 Test System. The first hospital sites began enrolling patients earlier this year and enrollment has continued to ramp nicely as we continue to bring more of our participating sites on line. The study will enroll 2,000 evaluable patients in total and we expect to complete enrollment and report top-line data by the end of the year. We plan to submit our 510(k) package to the FDA as soon as possible
