Thank you so much for your insight. Yes, I'm one of the founders of FastQS. We haven't spoken to distributors yet, but we've been contacted by several of them already. We'll explore this option but we want to make sure we're ready for this.

Are there any risks or downsides to going through a distributor?

Ask HN: International software distributors

We've been contacted by several people asking to be international distributors of our software and I wanted to know if anyone has ever done this? Any advice or things to watch out for? Why do you even need a separate distributor if you sell software?

Nice, I've never heard of this "dechoking" method. I'm guessing you need one of these types of vacuums: http://www.tipa.eu/fotocache/bigorig/08850298.jpg and then you put your mouth around it?

Agreed. Developing a medical device is not cheap and unlike most consumer products, these devices need to go through rigorous safety testing to make sure it does what it says it does. A lot of capital is needed just to comply with FDA regulations.

My guess is that as manufacturing costs lower and competitors realize the market, the price will eventually go down. Even offices, schools and other public places could benefit from having this also.

I know if I were choking, I don't know how polite I would be to everyone around me
