Last year, the WavSTAT4 was mentioned at UEGWeek 2015 in Barcelona, Spain and can be read in the UEG Week 2015 Oral Presentations:
United European Gastroenterology Journal, October 2015; vol. 3, 5 suppl: pp. 1-145.

Introduction: In order to reduce procedural time, costs and potential risks
associated with the resection of diminutive colorectal polyps, the ASGE
recently proposed performance thresholds that a new technology should meet
for the accurate real-time assessment of the histology. Within this study, we
prospectively assessed whether the newly introduced WavSTAT 4 optical
biopsy forceps system can accurately predict polyp histology according to the
ASGE PIVI statement.
Aims & Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing screening or surveillance
colonoscopy were included. Real-time histology of 142 diminutive colorectal
polyps was evaluated using the WavSTAT 4 system and compared to the results
of conventional histology. The accuracy of predicting histology with the optical
biopsy system for colorectal polyps according to the ASGE PIVI statement was
assessed.
Results: The overall accuracy of the WavSTAT 4 system for prediction of
adenomatous polyp histology was 84.1% with a sensitivity, specificity, and
negative predictive value of 81.5%, 85.2%, and 95.4%. When only distal colorectal
diminutive polyps were considered, the negative prediction for excluding
adenomatous histology was increased to 98% (accuracy: 81.7%, sensitivity:
88.9%, specificity: 80.6%). On site-surveillance intervals were correctly predicted
with an accuracy of 89.6% with WavSTAT 4 when compared to
recent histology based US guideline recommendations. In all patients in
which histology and WavSTAT 4 based surveillance intervals differed,
WavSTAT 4 predicted narrower surveillance intervals.
Conclusion: The WavSTAT 4 optical biopsy system is accurate enough to leave
distal colorectal polyps in place without resection or to resect and discard them
without pathologic assessment. The WavSTAT system therefore has the potential
to reduce costs and risks associated with the redundant removal of diminutive
colorectal polyps.
And remember, this was only 5 months ago. This isn't a 9 year old article from some obscure website.
In addition, UEG week isn't small gathering. More than 13,200 delegates from 118 countries attended UEG Week 2015. That is a LOT of exposer for Spectra Science.
UEG 2016 will be held this year in Vienna:

Mark your calender for UEG Week Vienna 2016
October 15-19, 2016
Austria Centre Vienna
Vienna, Austria
UEG Week is the largest and most prestigious meeting of its kind in Europe, and many consider it to be the best digestive diseases meeting in the world.
Wouldn't it be great if the WavSTAT4 was mentioned again in 2016!
