Product FactoidsTCT25Product Education for Live CasesCore to TCT is the live case learning experience. A key component of this experience is thedemonstration of new procedures and current practices. Very often, operators will use orreference products with which the learner may not be familiar. To address this issue, CRF showsproduct factoid slides which complement the discussion and enhances the attendees’ overalllearning experience. Ideally, if available, this includes a 30-second product animation simulatingdevice/technology use. To meet this educational goal, CRF requests that manufacturers anddistributors of products to treat patients with cardiovascular disease submit educationalinformation for this purpose.What is a product factoid?A product factoid is a PowerPoint presentation of product and/or treatment specs. Thesecould include product size, product profile, and approval status. CRF has designed PowerPointtemplates specific to each product or treatment category. Companies are required to use thesetemplates and follow the specific template format. Because this information is used solely for theeducation of attendees, product logos, company logos, and any form of advertising are strictlyprohibited. Pictures of the product are welcome; however, videos or animations embedded inPowerPoint slides will not be accepted. Please note that all submissions are subject to reviewand approval by CRF.What is a product animation?Companies may submit a product animation simulating product use. For example, an animationdemonstrating the deployment of a product is an extremely effective way to educate the audienceon device performance. Videos simulating product use must be submitted as MiniDV, AVI, MPEG,or WMV only. Because the product animation is shown for educational use only, videos maynot include any text, including company names, company logos, product logos, or instructionalinformation. Please note that all submissions are subject to review and approval by CRF.What does it cost to submit a product specification and/or animation?There is no cost to participate. CRF considers product factoids and animations to be an addedvalue to the TCT learning experience.When and where will my company’s submission be shown during TCT?There is no guarantee when, where, or even if a product factoid and/or animation will be shown.Product factoids and animations are only shown if a product is used or mentioned during a livecase procedure. Products are used solely at the discretion of the live case operator and, therefore,it cannot be predicted when or if a product will be used during a live case demonstration.Information on how to submit a product factoid and animation will be posted on theTCT conference Web site, www.tctconference.com, in early March 2013.For more information, please contact Christina DiFrancescoat 646-434-4127 or cdifrancesco@crf.org.TCT2013 Industry Prospectus27
