<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">So for us going to Washington, what now becomes our approach? We have a Bill, do we ask for support on voting for this Bill when we meet with our Representatives, and Senators? Do we have any idea when this Bill may come up for a vote? </span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Hi All,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">I wanted to let you know we have some breaking news regarding the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act. Yesterday, January 18, 2024 the Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act was introduced in the United States Senate. It’s bill number is S.3621 and it was introduced by Senator Margret Hassan (D-New Hampshire) and Senator Mike Braun (R-Indiana).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">This is wonderful news because it’s the first time we have had a Senate bill on the topic, the bill is bipartisan, and it’s very helpful both sponsor and lead cosponsor are on the relevant committee. Great work to all who helped get us to this point!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Thanks and we enjoy being with you all in Washington D.C. very soon!</span></p>
