According to Nassib Chamoun, president and CEO of Aspect, there are an
estimated 10,000 operating rooms in Japan.
"We estimate that Japan has 10,000 operating rooms, which represents a large
potential market for Aspect monitoring technology," stated Nassib Chamoun,
president and CEO of Aspect. "BIS monitoring is the first and only level of
consciousness monitoring technology commercially available in this important
market. This represents a significant barrier to entry. Even more notably,
this approval represents the achievement of a major milestone towards our goal
of worldwide market penetration."

?During the first quarter, the company received approval from the
Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare to market the BIS monitor in
Japan and shipments began during the quarter. The company believes
that pent-up demand for BIS translated into strong initial shipments
to Japan during the latter part of the quarter. Aspect estimates that
Japan has about 10,000 operating rooms.?
