Temat ostatnio podpisanej umowy w Australii także pojawił się na piątkowej konferencji Milestone

We all continue to advance the rollout of the CompuFlo Epidural System. Most recently we signed a distribution agreement for the CompuFlo with Paragon Care Limited, a leading provider of medical equipment, devices and consumables in Australia.
Australia is a large market in our sector, as Epidural anesthesia is used in one third of the approximately 300,000 births in Australia each year. Reduction and complications, seizure failures and the associated costs are essential to increasing the popularity of Epidurals in childbirth.
We believe Paragon Care is the perfect partner as they have strong relationships and a deep reach into Australian hospitals and medical schools. Our goal is to collaborate with distributors worldwide to build a new standard of care with the Epidural with our Epidural instrument.

I wanted to just focus on the distribution agreement with Paragon that looks like a great opportunity in Australia. I was wondering one if you could just give an update on presence discussions with other distributors, whether that is internationally or in the U.S., and give a little more color on the ramp possibility in Australia with Paragon.
Leonard Osser
Sure. Paragon has extraordinarily good reach in Australia, as I mentioned into both medical schools and to hospitals. We have just signed the agreement very recently and we are now beginning to supply them demo units, to train their sales people to go into the hospitals to train the anesthesiologist.
We also look to the future and we try to deal with companies such as Paragon, because they deal with the medical schools, which is the next generation that will help us to enter the market. As far as other distributors are concerned, we believe in Italy, we have the best distributor and [Moby] (Ph) for that country.
