Edward Wu asked whether macroeconomic challenges, such as slowing GDP, were affecting Daxor's sales cycle for placing new devices. He also inquired about any supply chain disruptions or inflation-related cost issues the company has faced.

Answer

CEO & President Michael Feldschuh responded that in a cost-sensitive economic environment, Daxor's strong value proposition becomes more attractive to hospitals. He explained that the system's ability to shorten patient length-of-stay and serve as a lower-cost alternative to procedures like a right heart cath resonates with economically-focused hospital systems, supported by their partnership with MedAxiom. Regarding operations, he stated that Daxor has avoided significant supply chain problems for components due to its U.S.-based manufacturing but has experienced inflationary pressures related to rising staffing costs.
