"We are very pleased to receive FDA clearance for the ROBODOC System. This milestone represents the first active robotic system cleared by the FDA for orthopaedic surgery allowing our advanced technology to be marketed in US, the largest market in the world for medical devices," commented Dr. Ramesh Trivedi, President and CEO of ROBODOC.
