Any one have any clues on what this means in terms of Australia?I thought we might get a bit of news on how things were going there.
Obviously no health boards on board yet but what about other sales?

Obviously DHB's and hospitals are trying to make savings where ever they can given the constraints on government spending. But this is not confined to NZ. US health providers and insurers will also be doing the same.
Fantastic announcement this morning, cements health professional belief in the product, should provide some confidence to the market that PEB guidance for US sales is achievable.
Great news. Lots of the sellers have now disappeared. Still a prelim annual report to come today :)
That was exactly the announcement I was looking for. Partnering with a hospital as a full trial run of their test and testing facilities. If their product is as good as it appears, I expect others to follow suit.
I suspect other hospitals will be watching with baited breath...
Oh yes, plus I like the bit "Discussions are under way with another DHB..."
This is the bit I liked:
Quote:
Cxbladder, the first commercial diagnostic cancer test launched by Pacific Edge, has gained recognition for its accuracy from leading urology practices in Australia, New Zealand and the United States.
"Clinicians in all three countries are using Cxbladder as a quick, cost effective and accurate measure to identify those patients presenting with haematuria who have tumours requiring further treatment
You have to hope that the benefits of CxBladder become incredibly obvious pretty promptly otherwise this DHB is going to spend two years gathering data and then sitting down to write a report for discussion at the next board meeting about whether it is worth adopting it long term.
