You need to speak up on the conference calls with these thoughts, I'm pumped now.
After this post, this thread should be locked. This is one of the best posts I have seen on this gossip site. Inevitably, someone will come along and bitch some more about SNN owing them severance blah blah blah. Nut up and sell what you have in your bag.
Interesting that the people is the forum have not read the recent article from The President of S&N stating that reps will be thinned out for the new Syncera launch.
Go ahead and be a cheerleader and Shake your Pom poms. It's cool.
The truth is that you will get the AX soon with the new Syncera program. Don't believe me? Go to orthostreams.com and it's the first article. Can't miss it.
Let me know how it works out for you.

Ya, cuz ortho reps and NPWT reps are the same thing.
Perhaps you'd be more comfortable on your own thread.

How many Pico's do you have to sell to make $100k? Yep, its time to go
Ok, so now we are buying hospital and DME Renasys VACS back from the people we sold to over the last few years?
Very interesting move. Do I get penalized for commissions I received from previous capital sales?
One account asked me today if I knew about Medicare and other insurance companies reconciling the money paid for the use of a non-compliant FDA product in the future. I don't know. This is not good.
I bet lawyers are going to be suing soon.
Oh well, least I have job interviews to get away from this debacle.
Way to go S&N. Make your mom proud.

Yeah Dummy. It's under the Smith & Nephew umbrella. Other divisions will follow this model.
Go back and take some college logic classes. It might help you in the long run fool.
Talked to a UHS service rep today. Apparently they are not in the loop about what's going
on because he was asking me for info about smith and nephew. And why they're pulling a lot of s&n NPWT pumps out of the hospitals.
I a former KCI rep but he knows I used to work at KCI because I've chatted with him before.
Good opportunity for KCI.
Some of those customers you get back will stay. How many might just depend on service.
JMHO.

You're out of your depth here. Ive done both jobs. Selling NPWT is way more work - touches almost every area of a hospital. 10 times more work per placement. Ortho is pretty much OR/Materials, on to the next case. Easier to replace those reps with a new program.
If Smith and Nephew reps are looking at preserving accounts in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia-and still earn 20% of revenue comps paid each month please call the Smith and Nephew Renasys dealer Healthcare Essentials (888) 805-8582. We converted a hospital in my territory to keep continued usage of Smith and Nephew Renasys. Healthcare Essentials still has thousands of Renasys soft port kits and canisters that was still approved under the pre-510k approved for distribution. It was a seamless transition and I'm still getting my comps (actually more). Give it a shot guys! Don't lose to KCI and keep your customers happy. Remember at the end of the day, it's the sales person's reputation at stake not Smith and Nephew's.
Please consult with a healthcare attorney. Due to liability and September 1, 2014 as the deadline for no more reimbursements for the Renasys, you would be silly to even consider the offer from Healthcare Essentials.
^^^ This KCI guy. You know what you should do? Write a sob story letter to the FDA.
NO FAIR!
Pre 510K? This is the stupidiest thing I have ever heard of. Once a line is not cleared anymore by the FDA its "at risk" for clinicians to use...basicallly its considered experiemential and ll of the liability goes on the care givers. Why risk it when there is other products that do the exact same thing that are cleared. Secondly, you cannot get "pre 510K approval" for HCPCS coding...Medicare WILL NOT reimburse for items that do not have 510K clea rance and every insurance plan follows those guidelines. Step 1, let CMS know that this company is makreting and and seeking reimbursement for a product line that is not cleared. Step 2 formally ask for an Audit of this company as their reputation is obviously sleazy if they are doing this. Step 3, ask about all of the other S&N providers that have jumped ship that will never come back.
By the way, I thought this was only a few weeks from being resolved??? Its been almost 2 months. See you on the job market when Healthcare Essentials figures out that they just comprised the business due to your bs.
Wow, I can smell the KCI troll hair on your fingertips. You are pretty much the expert on crying to the FDA aren't you.... It is truly entertaining to see that customers will take on the risk instead of doing business with your joke company and its "lawsuit scare" tactics! Way to screw up something that was offered to you on a silver platter.
Good News Everyone,
I know these last couple months have been very difficult with the FDA sanctions. I commend those of you who stayed the course and didn't let this negativity at cafepharma destroy your willingness to succeed. I have some very good news for everyone. The Smith and Nephew Renasys product line will have the full 510K clearance by 8/26/2014. I am unable to tell you my source of information, but rest assured it will be business as usual by 8/26/2014. The bottom line is that Medicare/Medicaid/Managed Care Plans need two solid vendors in the marketplace. Having KCI dominate the market, and run their monopoly will only increase pricing for VAC (NPWT) Therapy in the declining reimbursement landscape that everyone is currently facing. The government (FDA, Medicare, etc) needs strong competition in the market. Why do you think Smith and Nephew succeeded in their patent verdict that reversed the original decision? It's called one word-competition. I hope everyone has a wonderful night and we will get through this together here at Smith and Nephew.

He means the non-modified product. Only the new product has the non-cleared 510K. Older models still have a the original cleared 510K and are not affected.
