`It was good to talk wnh you today.
`I am vgry er.thusiastio aboln moving forward
`with the many fusion device concepts. As we had discussed, we would like to
`begin working on the various implant 2nd instrumentation designs. We covered a
`great deal of iniorma1icn in our discussions, so t have lis1ed Some of the things
`we discussed. Please let me know if I missed anything or have misunderstood
`In order to move lonvard wnh the project we discussed the following:
`anything.
`
`1.) You wilt send me (via Fed Ex) today several implants and inlormation on .the
`design. This inl0rma1ion wit! include prior modeling and analysis information on
`the implant as well as regulatory filing information on the 510(k) application by
`KTI en a non-spine application 01 the threaded fusion device technology.
`
`2) You will contact your machinist about manufacturing several sets oj implant
`The machinist will measure tne current
