why did it take 9 years to not even come to market?

ah, "Today, Encora is focused on building a national sales force and working to secure coverage from insurers."

note that "FDA Cleared" only means it's (extremely) similar to another approved device

not that they tested or approved it

it's an often marketed phrase that's meaningless
