I was fortunate enough to have beta tested the instrument at Mass. General
and New England medical center in 2001.  The instrument is easy to use has
on line context help for each screen.  The instrument has a touch screen and
the instrument provides you with excellent QA information.  It also has
remote fill and drain.  You will never have to take out a bottle again to
fill.  I highly recommend it and have just purchased two instrument.

I don't know where you live but you can contact Leica at 1-800 248-0123.
