Bridgedogg1, I think you have misunderstood the data. "1,000 babies per annum in U.S. Neonatal Intensive Care Units ("NICU") are at risk of aminoglycoside induced hearing loss."
The number of uses of the kit (and GDR sales to the US) would be much, much higher than 1000 to identify and save those 1000 babies from the hearing loss impact of using the antibiotic. A question would be - how many of the circa 370,000 premature babies in the US each year would require intensive care and thus the use of the test.
