and they did win that F&S award.

I hate to say it, Cassandra, but you were fooled by the mention of that Frost & Sullivan award.

Frost & Sullivan is a marketing company that sells awards to companies, as part of its “marketing strategy”.

Here is an example of [one life science company] that refused the award because of deception. Their CEO explained:

“We clearly regard the fact that the publication of obtaining a prize as associated with the costs of the prize winner is ethically questionable.”

What makes this more disturbing for [a medical device maker] is this Frost & Sullivan award is an active, paid for, undisclosed, and unqualified promotion of a medical device, which is likely to violate FDA restrictions on medical product marketing to the public.



AERS bought and paid for that F&S award, probably on a sliding scale fee considering the paucity of funds in the company treasury. MDGC -- can't even afford one IMO!
