Use of Estimates [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	2. Use of Estimates The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our most significant estimates and critical accounting policies involve recognizing revenue, estimating useful lives of long-lived assets, valuing warrants, determining the assumptions used in measuring share-based compensation expense and valuing allowances for doubtful accounts, and inventories.
