"Before the robot device was cleared in 2000, Intuitive told the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that the company would create a 70-question quiz and a three-day training course that all operating-room personnel would attend, according to FDA documents gained by Friedman and filed in the Taylor case."

3 day training? Every CSR knows we are out of that lab by 2:30 or at the latest 3:00 when we train a surgeon at one of the university center labs. Also, in my years here, we have NEVER had a surgeon fail at the lab....we need the 3 cases to hit the bucket for the quarter!

I doubt anyone currently at ISI knows/remembers this, but CSRs used to be "certified" to conduct the training protocols during the animal labs! And as I recall, the certification process for the CSRs was laughable.

JM and JA have thoroughly cleansed anyone who was around during this phase of the "adoption curve". Plausible deniability.

I dare the FDA to observe one day of the inhouse training lab. It frightens me to watch these surgeons. I didn't think it was possible to be that horrible at basic surgery.
 






Go watch one in Houston Mr. FDA. As to be in Lucy's class. You will be out of there by 1:00. That is of course after we buy her and everybody else there a nice lunch from Fred's or any other place.
