As VCR is moving forward it is time we lift the level of conversation in this forum regarding Ventracor and VentrAssist(TM).
This hour by hour commentary, guessing game of share price direction, so called 'insider The Alfred Hospital' information, name calling etc. does little to get the real stock talents to participate on this board.
Everyone should (re)read the attached 23 April 2003 announcement and understand the particular wording selected by Mr Michael Spooner, Ventracor's MD & CEO.
Please note that in science things don't go to an exact time plan. Sometimes faster than anticipated, but more often things take a little longer and plans get delayed.

Ventracor Artificial Heart Pilot Trial Update
VENTRACOR LIMITED 2003-04-23 ASX-SIGNAL-G HOMEX - Brisbane
Ventracor Limited (ASX:VCR), today provided a progress report on the
Pilot Trial of the VentrAssist(TM)artificial heart at The Alfred
hospital in Melbourne.
The company said Pilot Trial preparations were on track and had
entered their final stages. Ventracor Managing Director and Chief
Executive Officer, Mr Michael Spooner, said that at a meeting with
the medical investigative team at The Alfred hospital yesterday,
Ventracor introduced an updated and improved series of Data
Collection Forms. He said these forms would provide a basis for Pilot
Trial data to be collected as well as supporting the global Pivotal
Trial.
"This integrated approach may well provide Ventracor with significant
overall time savings in our race to obtain global regulatory approval
to sell the VentrAssist(TM) device.
"In effect, Ventracor is looking to incorporate Pilot Trial data into
our global Pivotal Trial submissions, a process that has only become
possible as a result of international developments in the past few
weeks.
"Ventracor key staff are working closely with the medical
investigative team at The Alfred hospital in Melbourne to facilitate
the implementation of the additional requirements in the new Data
Collection Forms.
"Ventracor is also assisting with the introduction of new clinical
tools which monitor patient condition and rehabilitation. These tools
will help in proving that the VentrAssist(TM) is the treatment of
choice for patients with severe heart failure.
"We are expecting the medical investigative team to finalise
recruitment of patients during May with the first implant to be
performed in June.
"Ventracor will utilize this per iod of time to under take additional
rigorous testing of the final devices.
"We are delighted with the outcomes from our preclinical testing and
want to take every opportunity to ensure the success of the overall
trial process.
"Both Ventracor and The Alfred hospital are doing their utmost to
ensure patient wellbeing, dignity and privacy remain our primary
concern", Mr Spooner said.
