Great points. If Titan somehow receives 510K by 3rd or 4th qtr 2016 then I would tend to agree a buyout happens soon after. That's a big if. The predicate device route to 510K does happen a lot though. I'm just skeptical that it would happen with a surgical robot. Usually low tech products like trocars or new device within existing line of product.
I really hope your correct with your feeling of a buyout!
