Anyone goingto SGNA next week? I see Steris and the scope mfgr's are all there as event sponsors. Haven't seen any representation citations for Getinge or TOS although RR said they would be there.
Would like to know if there is acknowledgement of the duo 510k and potential upcoming regulatory changes discussed in the training sessions? And what TOS presence and activities looks like. Anyone going that can report back?
Here are 2;
