Kim,
The product was introduced in Europe a few years ago (3 or 4) and is
available there. I am not sure if they have a distributor here or
not. It is not widely used at this time and is interesting. I spoke
to some people at a meeting there in 2003. I know this is not much
help, at least you know where it started and Eurpean journals or
connections may be a better bet.
