Thanks, Debbie, and good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to our third quarter call. Hold on a second. We reported $65.2 million in revenue for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 233% from the same period in 2020. Our C2 product once again led our growth as penetration and utilization continued at a healthy pace despite the challenges of COVID and the Delta variant. Isaac will provide additional color regarding the various dynamics that impacted the third quarter, but we are encouraged to see the waning of COVID's impact in hospitals in the U.S. Hopefully, we're finally past the elective procedure freeze and thaw cycle, which would certainly be a blessing for our customers and their patients. Factoring in the combination of continued traction of C2 and steady elective procedure recovery, but still anticipating some impact on procedure volumes from COVID and staffing shortages, We expect to finish 2021 with revenues in the range of $227 to $228 million. This translates into a growth rate of 235% to 236% over 2020. To provide additional perspective on what we're seeing from the commercial side, I will turn the call over to Isaac, and then Dan and I will share more details on the broader business and financial results from the quarter. Isaac?
