We have no interest in making public such denominator information to the detriment of any device manufacturer. Our need is merely to have an idea of how often a device is experiencing a problem relative to the total number of the devices in use. We hope that this will provide valuable feedback to manufacturers who can't track the many devices they produce. I think they would probably benefit from knowing how often their devices are used and what their failure rate is. I think we can learn collaboratively and together.
Research is a part of what managed-care companies do.
And I think the managed-care organizations have an opportunity here to get in on the ground floor of some new medical device technologies. We'll be approaching major trade associations such as the Health Industry Manufacturers Association and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association to ask whether they can work with us on presentations to managed-care groups that have been conducting research in a variety of areas but haven't really touched the device industry. Manufacturers are already tracking certain types of devices, such as heart valves, because it's a statutory requirement that they be able to contact patients within 10 days. So manufacturers know exactly where every single one of those goes, and I think those counts are already done. But there's less information about other, less-critical types of products.
