Dean and IMGG was in effect married to the old FDA Review team for better or worse. That marriage did not work out too well and there was somewhat of a divorce from the first review team.
Now Dean and IMGG are remarried to a totally new FDA Review team with better communication skills and a better potential relationship.
So, in effect, the FDA review taking 3 years due to Dean and IMGG is wrong on its face. The communication with the first team (wife #1) did not work out due to the first team having a lot of flaws. Once the FDA recognized what the problem was the marriage was terminated by the FDA (not Dean).
So the new review team (wife number 2) has been around for a little over 7 or 8 months and is working hard with Dean and IMGG to achieve a proper disposition of the community property (the FDA submission).
You can not blame Dean alone for the outcome of the first marriage since the FDA itself forced the divorce and terminated or removed the prior review team instead of finding DVis as NSE. I think this second marriage is potentially going to resolve the dispute over the community property and the time frame with the new review team is progressing nicely.
I'd say after the honeymoon of 9 to 10 months is over, we might begin to wonder, but for now, we simply need to let the marital relationship develop and see if romance and love are the result.
I, personally, am hoping for a fine second marriage and many wonderful 510-K children to come in the future.
