The Company manufactures its RenalGuard consoles and sterile disposable kits using two separate outside contract manufacturers. The contracts with these manufacturers do not contain minimum purchase requirements or any future commitments. Purchases are made upon request to the manufacturer.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company hired a clinical research organization (“CRO”) to assist with managing its clinical trial. The contract with the CRO does not contain minimum purchase requirements or any future commitments, and payments are made once services are provided.
