Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract]

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred, while additions and improvements are capitalized. The Company depreciates the costs of these assets over their estimated useful lives. When assets are retired or disposed, the asset's original cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income. Depreciation and amortization are generally accounted for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Office, protective and demonstration, and computer equipment	4 Years
Manufacturing equipment	10 Years
Leasehold improvements	lease term

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. When impairment indicators exist, the Company uses market quotes, if available or an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related asset or asset group over the remaining life in measuring whether or not the asset values are recoverable.
