I believe the number of ambulances in the US is 40,000+, not 70,000. This is my memory from the Pyng web site.

There is one group of customers to whom the product should more or less sell itself. That is teaching hospitals affiliated to universities where there are research faculty in the field of emergency medicine. Researchers should want to stay up to date with technology and goings on in their field, and should want to order the latest gadget. Indeed, they have a responsibility to stay up to date. There are a fair number of such hospitals, and they shouldn't need any state approval to use the FAST1 in an ER. This is also a disproportionately important group, as they are the leaders of their field. Some will want to study the FAST1 in use and submit journal articles based on their own studies.

There is probably a web site that lists medical schools which have specializations in emergency medicine. Counting up the number of hospitals affiliated to the schools (which will be some multiple of the number of schools) should give some indication of the size of this market.
