From an article today:

"In the event that swine flu develops into a true pandemic, experts say manufacturers would see demand for more high-end items than disposable gloves and masks. Under the government's worst-case scenario, nearly 10 million patients would have to be admitted to the hospital, and nearly 1.5 million would need intensive care. About 750,000 would need the help of mechanical ventilators to keep breathing.

Those devices are primarily used to treat patients with severe lung injury, chronic pulmonary disease and neurological problems that disrupt . The devices use a tube inserted through the nasal passage to force air into the lungs."

KSX's F.D.A APPROVED machines could take the pressure off E.R's/hospitals (in terms of monitoring) if the swine flu situation becomes worse.

From KSX website:
"KarmelSonix Ltd. focuses on supplying innovative non-invasive acoustic tools for disease management of asthma and related pulmonary disorders.

Asthma affects 6-16% of the population in developed countries with a cost exceeding $US15 billion in the US alone.

Acoustic Asthma Management is a breakthrough in monitoring of the asthmatic patient of all ages, including the very young, very old and others who CANNOT PERFORM CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TESTS"

KSX won't be staying around these sp levels for long imo. Topped up more today.

Cheers,
