Dr. Jay Greenspan, Chief of Neonatology

Thomas Jefferson University Hospital

Philadelphia, PA

June 2007

“We (currently) have 1950’s medicine in the 21st century”

“It’s a little embarrassing that we don’t have a mechanized way”

The SmartBlender™An adaptive controlled oxygen blender utilizing

novel, ‘smart’ technology

• Delivers continuous supplemental oxygen to newborn babies/patients in respiratory distress

Maintains baby’s blood-oxygen level, as assessed by a pulse oximeter, at a set range specified by a physician, continuously.

Components:Pulse OximeterOxygen BlenderComputer: Software/Algorithms

5

SmartBlender™ Technology: Adaptive, Dynamic, Continuous, Accurate

6

SmartBlender™ Value Proposition

The SB promotes automatic, adaptive and consistent maintenance of blood saturation which will reduce or eliminate development of acute and chronic health problems due to unregulated oxygen therapy.

• Pneumonia, bronchio-pulmonary displasia, retinopathy are just a few of the conditions that can result from inhalation of excessive oxygen amounts.

• Clinical study at Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, PA has indicated: the weaning of patients from oxygen sooner, which may reduce patient length of stay in NICU.

• Reduction in patient stay affects hospitals’ bottom line, therefore reducing costs, increasing profitability

• Neonatologists believe: SB promotes better lung health

7

CLS: The right combination

Management believes the four most important advantages

of the SmartBlender™:

Clinical and therapeutic effectiveness

Strong receptivity from physicians

Clear path to product reimbursement

Reduced cost of treatment

Competitive position: Intellectual Property

First patent (#4,886,116) filed 1985

2nd and 3rd patents pending (38 claims)Solenoid system for oxygen controlDisplay and User InterfaceMethods (CPAP, long-term therapy, Heliox, sleep

apnea, weaning, newborn, adult)Alarm featuresApnea control

“Adaptive Controller for Automatic Ventilators” (patent #5,388,575) filed 1992 -SmartTap™

11

Market: competitive landscape

Fixed concentration oxygen blenders, adjusted manually, are the industry standard

Four companies control lion’s share of market

No adaptive smart technology blenders are available in the hospital space

Bottom line: No competition at this time globally

CLS: preparing for market entry
