In order to do that, a number of process initiatives have been adopted over the recent months and continue. With 3M's support, we are maturing as an organization at high speed and all lessons we learn will be applied to our new projects", added Mr. Rumble.
"In the meantime, we continue to experience interest for the product and backlog increases for shipments in 2011. As for our filing for US regulatory clearance, we have supplied a first round of documents to the Agency during the quarter and remain in open dialogue with the regulators for an eventual filing", concluded Mr. Rumble.
