In conclusion, Mr. DeViedma remarked: "Health Robotics is very thankful to the global i.v.STATION Betas, specially those in America that had the patience to endure the installation delays directly related to the refusal by the now-terminated Health Robotics' ex-distributors in the USA to participate in the Beta-Test installations, and the subsequent need for Health Robotics to hire local engineering staff. Whether these sites already replaced their Beta Test robots with purchased robots that are now in production; or have recently purchased replacement robots and are in the process of installing production versions; or understandably so, gave up on the project due to the above-mentioned delays with our ex-distributors; or are waiting for budget approval; all of us at Health Robotics really appreciate their collective feedback and dedication during the Beta Tests. In the end, i.v.STATION has matured much faster than any technology in the history of the IV Robotics and Automation Industry in great part due to the support of these Beta Sites. Health Robotics looks forward to repeat this Beta-Test experience with our upcoming i.v.STATION ONCO and TPNstation robots in 2011 and 2012, this time without yielding partial control of the Beta-Test processes to Health Robotics' distribution partners, and thus ensuring completion of the projects on a timely basis".
