- We completed the thoracic driver and began initial shipments of a private-labeled version to an existing CMF customer during the third quarter of fiscal 2020. We incurred cumulative expenditures of
$1.1 million spanning from fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2020 related to this product development. Current thoracic related expenditures are included in sustaining and other. We generated sales from this product of$3.1 million and$1.6 million during fiscal 2020 and the first quarter of fiscal 2021, respectively. Accordingly, we will remove this product from the above table next quarter. - This product has been internally pushed back to focus on our Pro-Dex branded ENT shaver. Accordingly, we will remove this product from the above table next quarter until such time as we reinstate this project.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we were one of eight US-based companies awarded a license to manufacture the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Ventilator Intervention Technology Accessible Locally ("VITAL"), a high-pressure, lower cost ventilator. In order to manufacture this product, we will require a full clean room, which we plan to install in our Tustin facility (assuming we close on the property, which is expected to occur on or around November 6, 2020). We are also nearing completion on the verification and validation of a new CMF driver, which we will be selling to our existing largest customer under a distribution agreement, that we executed in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. Finally, we also anticipate the release to manufacture of a new ENT Shaver in the spring of 2021 and our Director of Business Development is working with a promising medical device distributor to commercialize this product.
