My technical questions.

Muddphudd ... here's some things I would like to know
about re the Cypress technology and it's adoption rate.
Perhaps you can run these by Gendreau/Kulwiek/your own resources.

- What is the visibility of the Protein-A (Prosorba) column procedure
generally in the medical community?

- What is the likelihood that a practitioner will be exposed to the technique?

- How does a MD typically learn/adopt the procedure?

- What does a medical database literature search bring up?

- What mention of the procedure and Prosorba product in journals?

- What are the general medical trends in the area? Active? Inactive?

- Is the technique an option of the individual MD, or rather of the organization?

- What is the cost?

- What literature is available? Clinical? Procedural?

- What is the insurance category/visibility of this procedure? Covered? Standard? Unknown? What?

Where I am headed with this ... I am looking forward, trying to
make a picture about how MD's treating RA (and other related stuff)
will go about adopting the Prosorba technology.

- How will they learn it exists?
- How will they evaluate it's efficacy?
- How will they learn how to perform the procedure?
- How will they adopt the procedure within their organization?

- Is plasmapheresis a commonly used general clinical procedure?
- What else is it used for?

In other words, what are all the factors governing how this
technology moves into practice in the real world?

- sidebar: if Prosorba is used for ITP now, where? with what results?
