1. Useless innovation

    The Company has good PR and a lousy product. How else can you explain why they have failed to place their system in a single hospital that has been willing to pay for their system despite FDA approval some two years ago? On the other hand, the RF Surgical Systems retained sponge detection system is even more innovative, has placed their system in over 100 hospitals (all of whom pay) without any detection errors.  Who cares about counting when your system can detect a retained sponge 100% of the time and the standard of care is that the OR personnel must count the sponges anyway.
