Skyhook, the hospital tests will take several days to a couple of weeks at each hospital location. These test will be ongoing indefinetely - even beyond commercialization as MZEI will continue to test/experiment with new materials, bugs, etc. for a long time to come. Since AsepticSure is a completely different and NEW kind of disinfectant, it was unclear to the (first) hospital WHICH faction, group, committee, authority (within the hopital) had to "sign off" on our beta test in order for us to begin. Like many large companies, it's sometimes difficult to get everybody together on the same page at the same time. Our technology is NOT evolutionary but REVOLUTIONARY, and therefore MAXIMUM understanding and careful scrutiny has been employed to make sure no negative reprocussions are possible. It was vital that ALL groups and significant people within the hospital group completely understood how AsepticSure worked and what standards, practices, and regulation we "fell under." As MOST wise people would do, just "taking our word for it" was not satsifactory. Only after thorough DD on the part of the hospital "crew" and a complete, thorough understanding of what our machine/proceedure represented could we be given the "green light" to set up the test inside the hospital. Just normal red tape which has been more time consuming than originally thought, that's all.
