RE:Bernard & EchoSince I am a shareholder and would like to see the share price not down, I was going to hold off. But, I appreciated Dr. Wong's time from the asset management side so much, I will chime back in..
TURN AROUND TIME- Agreed, current EtO is 1 use per day and VP4 2 times per day, with potential of 3.
DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT- Chemistry 101 here Dr. Wong. H2O2 one of the most corrosive elements known to man. That's all I need to respond with actually, but I do appreciate you bringing up "real-life" data on EtO and HLD submitted by TSO3. If your trying to convince people EtO is not the most compatible gas sterilant available, good luck!
PROVE EtO MORE DANGEROUS- You make absolutely no sense here.. I mean it's seriously comical!! You refer to IASC 1994's classification of EtO as a cancer causing agent. It's true, but they did not have any studies on worker's health at that time, which they stated. So, no "real-world" data. The most effective study is "REAL-WORLD" data, which came from the NIOSH agency with 18,235 workers, NOT in space suits, good luck finding one of those back in the 1940's when they started the study.. So, 60 years on almost 20,000 "REAL-LIFE" workers, majority of who exposed to industrial amounts of EtO and they did NOT find any elevated cancer risk. Interestingly, they found less overall illnesses than the general population!!
So, please Dr. Wong, enlighten me on how your mice studies are somehow more enlightened on the "Real-Life" effects of toxicity versus 20,000 workers working everyday with industrial amounts of EtO??
The reason I bring this up is b/c I have worked inside C.S. in 4 different hospitals for over a decade. It was myself, my co-workers, and close friends that this industry uses as guinea pigs in a "Real-Life" setting. Truth is, ALL chemical sterilants are bad. We don't want any exposure to any of them, but we care about what we do everyday helping patients on the other end of our efforts.. The only REAL WORLD DATA I can actually find is on EtO and regardless or whatever Alfa study you cite, it works.
Also, the only proven sterilant that has stopped "Real-Life" outbreaks has been EtO. This is not mice engineered to get the results your hoping for in a incubator. This is in the "Real-World" where people have died. This is why I'm investing in this company. But, as an investor I have a right to point out actual facts. EtO has been the leading choice what the hospital industry turns to when an outbreak occurs and it's dropped the infections dead in it's scopes.
This is why I invested. I couldn't read a financial statement as well as the Dr. Wong and I don't need to. There's a "Real-Life" need to sterilize these scopes and rathar it's TSO3, or 3M, or some small company we never heard of, the ability to help us prevent infections on patients who depend on our care is why I'm investing. That and it's what I can afford and I hope it goes up to $12 in two years.
But, again.. Misguidance based on false information is what I enjoy pointing out, for those so inclined to be researching this particular sector of healthcare.
Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but NOT to inccorrect facts.
