GJE, "it could be inferred that the submission has already been with the notified body for some time, otherwise AS wouldn’t be hopeful at that point that it was close. This was made over 2 weeks ago, so there’s every possibility, especially given that the rumour mill is at full tilt, that it has been achieved."
AS said nothing of the sort, if anything it read he was managing expectations that it was not around the corner.
"but I think you’ll find that notified body review can take many many many months even under normal times, so making the progress that has been made is not in my view taking a long time, so I sincerely hope we are close to having that CE mark, but we are in the hands of the notified body at this point.
So yes, he "hopes" its soon, but having flagged and emphasized how long it can be and not just months, or even many months, but many, many, many months which suggests to me its not imminent, (otherwise why make such a song and dance about how many, many, many months it takes under normal times and then reminds us all that "we are in the hands of the notified body at this point.".
To me ,imo, this simply strengthens the likelyhood of this not happening in the next few days as we are not in normal times and far from speeding things up , the opposite is happening ala NCYT said there were delays in getting tests pushed through by 6 months.
It will be when it will be, but I did not read the way you did that's for sure.
