Revenue was $83.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $72.9 million for the prior quarter and $48.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase over prior quarter was driven by continued U.S. commercial expansion and new product introductions.

Gross margin was 90.1% for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 92.4% for the same period in the prior year, modestly lower primarily due to the move to our larger production facility in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $73.2 million, compared to $37.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.
