GALWAY, Ireland & OCEANSIDE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Commenting on the clearance, John O’Dea, CEO, said “We believe that this is an important step forward for our company.

We have now started the process of installing EVA15 in leading robotic surgical training centers in Europe.”
NSAI CEO, Geraldine Larkin, continued “Certification is a key pillar for companies in the medical devices sector to drive innovation, ensure quality, and to gain market accessibility.
