2. Inventories

The Company’s inventories are primarily stated at standard cost, which approximates actual cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Work-in-process and finished products include material, labor and production overhead costs. Finished products include field inventory which represents immediately saleable finished products that are in the possession of the Company’s direct sales representatives, and consignment inventory which represents immediately saleable finished products located at third party customers, such as distributors and hospitals. Deferred cost of sales result from transactions where the Company has shipped product or performed services for which all revenue recognition criteria have not been met. Once the revenue recognition criteria have been met, both the revenues and associated cost of sales are recognized.
