(OTCQX:SPIN), a technology-driven, medical service, device and healthcare solution company servicing the multi-billion dollar spine injury sector, today announced its wholly owned Quad Video Halo, Inc. (QVHInc) subsidiary will be exhibiting its latest version of its proprietary Quad Video Halo 3.0™ System (QVH3S) at the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meeting Convention in New Orleans, March 12-14 at the Morial Convention Center, booth #2739.

After almost two years of developing its timely groundbreaking transparency technology for proprietary use in SPIN's own Centers, a modified version has been developed for third party use throughout the Fluoroscopic utilized medical community. This version of the Quad Video Halo was first publicly presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Convention in December where the "system" was well received by many attendees. Based on follow-up discussions with several interested major medical device marketing organizations, further modifications were suggested and now implemented in Version 3.0 to make the system more compatible over a larger spectrum of potential users. This latest version will be introduced at AAOS.
William F. Donovan, M.D., CEO of Spine Pain Management, said, "When SPIN first acquired the earliest beta version of QVHS, it was done to enhance SPIN's core business model of providing a transparent record of diagnostic procedures provided by the Company affiliates in personal injury cases involving spine damage. Little was thought at that time about the vast potential of using the QVHS in other third party markets outside of just diagnostics. As word of the QVHS began to get out, we quickly realized that with modifications, this system could be enhanced to a point that it could be compatible and advantageous to be used with the vast majority of the existing and future C-Arm Fluoroscopy units world-wide; both for Transparency in medical use, as well as in medical education programs for learning." Donovan went on to say: "While the further devolvement of the system has been somewhat costly and time consuming, encouragement from medical device marketing organizations and peers alike purporting the huge potential third party market for the system has led management to the decision to aggressively pursue whatever is reasonably necessary to penetrate this very lucrative market worldwide."
