The CardioQ incorporates the Company's proprietary software and a small diameter, easy-to-use, minimally invasive, disposable oesophageal probe that is used for transmitting and receiving an ultra-sound ('Doppler') signal. By using this Doppler technology, the CardioQ provides clinicians with the ability to haemodynamically optimise critically ill patients and those undergoing routine moderate to major surgery through the controlled administration of fluid and drugs. Haemodynamic optimisation has been scientifically proven to improve the speed and quality of patient recovery and reduce hospital stay. There are already over 800 CardioQs currently in use in hospitals worldwide and distribution arrangements are in place in over 30 countries. In addition, there are currently more than 75 clinical publications on the use of the CardioQ which have repeatedly:- * validated the results of the Monitor against known standards for measuring cardiac output, demonstrating that the technology works * proved that the CardioQ works in a wide range of surgical procedures * demonstrated that the Company's technology provides significant health and economic benefits by helping to reduce post-operative complications and length of hospital stays by an average of 30 to 40 per cent for a wide range of patients. The Company is also currently developing a number of new products:- * the SupraQ - a monitor based on the CardioQ technology but using a completely non-invasive probe; the prototype is being prepared for clinical testing * the NeuroQ - a monitor designed to measure blood flow in the brain; the new prototype is in preparation for clinical trials.
