Standard Product Warranty Disclosure [Abstract]  
Warranty
Warranty
The Company generally provides a 12 month warranty on its gamma cameras. The Company accrues the estimated cost of this warranty at the time revenue is recorded and charges warranty expense to Product cost of revenues. Warranty reserves are established based on historical experience with failure rates and repair costs and the number of systems covered by warranty. Warranty reserves are depleted as gamma cameras are repaired. The costs consist principally of materials, personnel, overhead and transportation. The Company reviews warranty reserves quarterly and, if necessary, makes adjustments.
The activities in the Company’s warranty reserve for the period ended June 30, 2012, and 2011 are as follows (in thousands):
