In 3Q06, there were 5.3 procedures per installed device per month. That’s 1.2 procedures per week.
Even after allowing for summer vacations, the only way device utilization can possibly be that low is if some docs are letting their devices collect dust in a closet.
[Revenue in the quarter was up 18% from 3Q06 and 58% from 4Q05, but still rather anemic in terms of procedures per installed system, which is IMO a good gauge for the traction THRM is gaining at this stage of the company’s development. As I do not believe that the company’s device works, I am waiting for an opportune to sell short. CC at 4:30 pm ET; feedback is warmly welcomed from anyone who listens.]
