Conference Update I had the opportunity to speak with someone who was at the conference in New Orleans yesterday. They attended the exhibition and were also at the afternoon session in which Dr. Holzman presented his results from clinical testing of the newly named Colormate TLc-Bilitest. Here are some observations: - The CCSI booth was a single unit that was in a centrally located area of the exhibition hall. -The booth itself had a very professional appearance with someone available at each of 6 "stations" to answer questions, hand out literature, etc. - There was "quite a lot" of activity at the booth with lots of interest shown by the attendees. - Everyone from the company was there in force. Darby, Jennifer, Adele, Ken MacFarlane, Ed Vimond, etc. and Dr. Maisels was there also, introducing the machine. Hill and Knowlton was represented also (did not remember the name). - There were more than 6 closely guarded hand-held devices on display. They were not "prototypes", they were the "real deal". The Colormate TLc-Bilitest had 2-3 buttons and a display screen on it. It was easily handled and easy to read. It is battery operated as well as having a connection so it can be plugged in, if desired. - One thing that sets the Chromatics' device apart from Spectrx's is the fact that the Colormate TLc-Bilitest device has storage capability. That is, it keeps track of the bilirubin measurements. Those readings can then be downloaded into a standard computer (that has the CCSI software loaded into it) and put into a patient's record, etc. Again, SpectRx's device does not have that capability. Their device is a one shot deal and the technician has to keep track of the readings themselves. - The afternoon session, in which Dr. Holzman presented, was attended by at least 350 medical professionals. Dr. Holzman was the last to speak and received an "extended ovation" by the attendees. Note: The paper that he presented has been accepted for publication. - The SpectRx booth was off to the side of the exhibition hall. It had 2 people working at it. It was not as well attended as CCSI's booth (at least not yesterday).
