Stamford Conn....active at night.

Yes NeoPath went in without any real data I think maybe 50 slides or something pathetic like that so it is no surprise that they got turned down. I don't think they have anyone on staff with any FDA experience.

Yes certainly their direct competitors may be hurt either way and this is reflected in the prices of their stocks.

Yes I agree that ACMI probably wins either way...why I bought in.

But I still think that overall, a very nervous FDA on cytology is not good for anyone in the sector. How about the Kirby-Bauer machine? It requires FDA approval. Do you think the 510(k) short-cut will fly if NeoPath gets turned down? I very much doubt it. It is a different committee but still there would be pressure on/in the FDA to be "even handed".
