Well, just as consumer products have early adaptors (those who purchased Plasma TV's in 1990 for $4,000 and 1 megapixel cameras in 1994 for $400) and those who did not (most of the rest of us), I suppose the same spread exists among medical equipment procurement decision-makers.

I suppose the big operations like Kaiser can get overloaded with Bureaucracy and mired in inertia. Yet they make a claim to be big on taking the "evidence based" approach, so if only we could schedule Pleo for an appointment for the Kaiser Oncology Procurement Department, maybe they'd jump on board. But I suspect they would say they want more studies.

My instinct remains that the small ablation machine may be the driver of good things. If it gets generally accepted, the other products would get more attention.
