[Diabetes-Talk] accessibility is on the way

Veronica,

I did miss some of your message. We have our focus groups utilized for all needed and continue to use our focus groups thank you.

The Company Directors will not do as each and every individual may want specifically. The option to participate in discussions within the control of the said Company is there for your choice and benefit. I'm sorry you have problems and the website is accessible. You are having issues that I am not able to understand for if you are having this issue with the video, after we changed it all in the wee hours of the night, to which I will say to fix issues you and a few others were having. On a late Friday night to make this website a bit easier for those having troubles as you. I have just again spoken to our Web person and was told that there is no downloading of anything on this site and what yhou are attempting to do, even she does not understand. She did tell me to say to have you remove this site from your history for the memory within a computer will continue as previous, until your cash is updated. Therefore, whatever you may be experiencing will hopefully go away after you clear this site from your history. Again, I just tested this link and it works. 

Please understand, this is not a product specifically for those blind. We have made it accessible and it will be indicated for those as we here. As we move forward, information will be added to the site. Remember, this is the beginning, what I have attempted to simply say that what you have been fighting for for years, we are working on it. 

I again apologize for your inability to handle this accessible site for links are there, nothing is downloaded. The links for those to view components as the controller, the pump and the infusion pad in 3-D is there for those to view who can. What text that is on the website is there with limitations, yes, this is to only introduce, this is not a user guide/manual in detail as you may want. If you want the complete explanation, call me. My number on the website and below for you to use. Tom called and when he and I discussed the website of which he had no issues, I was pleased with his compliments and excitement with all we are doing. I welcome your call and others. If I do not answer, please understand I am talking to many many people each and every day of the week. Just leave a message and I will return your call as I am soonest able.

Thank you again,

Rick

I can't get the play button to show up consistently. I've tried twice today and it just starts downloading one giant file after another on to my computer. 
And no, this is not how corporations work. I have been in great contact with other pump companies who are more than happy to have feedback and for Heaven's sakes, if you're going to make an accessible device, you should have people who make the web site more easily accessible. Nothing wrong with having some text about the device. We discuss specific products at great length on this list and others. Hard to sell stuff and get customers if you're not allowed to talk about it, isn't it? 
Any FDA approved device also makes extensive use of focus groups during the design phase. What better place to find potential users to test the device but the existing lists. I don't know if you've submitted for the 510K clearance yet or had the FDA inspection of your factory or any of the other steps yet, but those are some of the things I need to know. 
Now, if you'd said subscribe to a list to participate in a focus group, I could see that not being on the list.
Just some thoughts and suggestions.
Veronica

Jeanette,

When the web page loads the video did not start playing automatically, you need to search for the play button and click it. That’s how I got it going.

Went to the website and your descriptive video cannot be accessed. Come back to us when you can share and we can truly see what you have been working on.

Hello All,

I have been vague with comments that I have made over the past year and I hope you will understand that when the time is not right, it is better to not say anything. However, I am now only attempting to make a simple introduction on what many of you all are fighting for and it is on the way. 

Go to the website to learn of an accessible insulin pump system that will be indicated for those blind, deaf, dyslexic and/or having motor issues with their hands.

http://www.equitaslifetech.com <http://www.equitaslifetech.com/> 

I'll not go into this further on this site and their is a group that all can be discussed to not take up this group's time or to fill mailboxes of those who may not be interested.

Thanks,
