IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

 1. Fresenius is allowed to bring into the courtroom during the course of the trial, which 

commenced on June 19, 2006, a digital video camera and tripod for use during trial to transmit the 

screen image(s) from the HD machines to the video monitors in the courtroom to the extent any 

machine may be used during trial. This will allow the jury to more readily see how the machines

removed from and returned to the courtroom during the course of trial to facilitate witness 

preparation or for some other reason as determined by the parties. 

 Inclusion of a piece of equipment in the Court’s Order of June 12, 2006, is neither an 

indication or finding that the identified equipment is admissible at trial, nor an indication or 

finding that the equipment qualifies as prior art. 

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Court staff, including assistant U.S. Marshals on duty at 

the time, are directed to allow, and to take such steps as reasonably necessary to facilitate the 

foregoing activity.
