And with that, I will turn the call over to Bruce.
Bruce Barclay
Thanks Pete good afternoon everyone. Thank you all for joining us today for our second quarter 2012 conference call. Today’s call will consist of an update on the initial commercial launch of our Magellan Robotic System with particular emphasis on our US launch, a discussion of our achievements for the second quartet, a review of the EP business and lastly a look at our plans for the remainder of 2012 and beyond. I will then turn the call over to Pete, who will provide a review of our financial results for the quarter. Pete and I will then take your questions at the conclusion of our prepared remarks.
But before we get to our review of the business, we are fortunate to have on the phone with us today from Europe Professor Nick Cheshire, M.D. of St. Mary's Hospital part of the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London, an academic health science center. Professor Cheshire is also head of Circulation Science at Imperial College Healthcare. Under Professor Cheshire’s direction, multiple physician disciplines including vascular surgery and interventional radiology have been pioneering the use of intravascular robotic.
St. Mary’s was the first hospital in the world to have a Magellan Robotic System and to begin successfully treating patients with it. As a reminder, Professor Cheshire is an Independent Clinician and Professor of Medicine and has no direct affiliation with Hansen Medical. Professor Cheshire will speak today on his experiences with the Hansen Medical intravascular robotics technology in both preclinical and clinical settings, the benefits he has seen to patients and his hospital using this system and his views on the potential value of intravascular robotic.
Professor Cheshire first let me thank you for letting us interrupt your holiday with your family and for joining us for what is very late in the day in Europe. Please go ahead when you are ready.
