We believe that our patented AEM ® We have an accumulated deficit of $21,949,610 at March 31, 2017. Operating funds have been provided primarily by issuances of our common stock and warrants, the exercise of stock options to purchase our common stock, and by operating profits. Our liquidity has diminished because of prior years' operating losses, and we may be required to seek additional capital in the future. Our strategic marketing and sales plan is designed to expand the use of our products in surgically active hospitals in the United States. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents. Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Concentration of Credit Risk. We have no significant off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. We maintain the majority of our cash balances with one financial institution in the form of demand deposits. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from transactions with and from entities in the healthcare industry primarily located in the United States. Accordingly, we may be exposed to credit risk generally associated with the healthcare industry. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We charge interest on past due accounts on a case-by-case basis. A summary of the activity in our allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows: Years Ended March 31, 2017 March 31, 2016 Balance, beginning of year $ 9,000 $ 11,500 Provision for estimated (recoveries) losses 24,352 (1,338 ) Write-off of uncollectible accounts (352 ) (1,162 ) Balance, end of year $ 33,000 $ 9,000 The net accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2017 of $1,042,281 included no more than 5% from any one customer.

ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. The cumulative effect of adopting ASC 740 on April 1, 2007 has been recorded net in deferred tax assets, which resulted in no ASC 740 liability on the balance sheet. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was zero. There are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit the Company's tax returns from fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 through the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statements of operations. There have been no income tax related interest or penalties assessed or recorded. Because the Company has provided a full valuation allowance on all of its deferred tax assets, the adoption of ASC 740 had no impact on our effective tax rate. Revenue Recognition. Sales Taxes. Research and Development Expenses Advertising Costs. Medical Device Tax Stock-Based Compensation. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the accompanying statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our statements of operations for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 included compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of March 31, 2017, based on the grant date fair value. Compensation expense for all share-based payment is recognized using the straight-line, single-option method. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying statements of operations for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model ("Black-Scholes model") to determine fair value. Our determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with ASC 718 using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 was $69,766 and $74,677, respectively, which consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to director and employee stock options. Stock-based compensation expense related to director and employee stock options under ASC 718 for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 was allocated as follows: Years Ended March 31, 2017 March 31, 2016 Cost of sales $ 2,648 $ 2,287 Sales and marketing 12,645 11,822 General and administrative 49,333 56,381 Research and development 5,140 4,187 Stock-based compensation expense $ 69,766 $ 74,677 Segment Reporting.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has also issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (the ASU), which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The ASU requires management to perform an assessment every reporting period (including interim periods) to determine whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The ASU also defines that substantial doubt exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. We have evaluated this new guidance, and the related impact on the financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, ("ASU 2015-11"). ASU 2015-11 affects reporting entities that measure inventory using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. Specifically, ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2015-11 to have a material/significant impact on its financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which modified lease accounting for both lessees and lessors to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous accounting standards and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning in its third quarter of 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption and the impact of adopting the new lease standard on its consolidated financial statements. |

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |
Shareholders' Equity | Stock Option Plans. Under ASC 718, the value of each employee stock option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model for the purpose of financial information in accordance with ASC 718. The use of a Black-Scholes model requires the use of actual employee exercise behavior data and the use of a number of assumptions including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Employee stock options for 285,000 and 139,000 shares of stock were granted during fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively. RSUs for none and 20,000 shares of stock were granted during fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, $183,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested stock is expected to be recognized over a period of five years. The assumptions for employee stock options are summarized as follows: Years Ended March 31, 2017 March 31, 2016 Risk-free interest rate 1.1% to 1.7% 1.6% Expected life (in years) 5.0 5.0 Expected volatility 81% to 87% 72% to 75% Expected dividend 0% 0% Cumulative compensation cost recognized in net income or loss with respect to options that are forfeited prior to vesting is adjusted as a reduction of compensation expense in the period of forfeiture. The volatility of the stock is based on the historical volatility for the period that approximates the expected lives of the options being valued. Fair value computations are highly sensitive to the volatility factor; the greater the volatility, the higher the computed fair value of options granted. The total fair value of options granted was computed to be approximately $474,000 and $58,000, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For disclosure purposes, these amounts are amortized ratably over the vesting periods of the options. Effects of stock-based compensation, net of the effect of forfeitures, totaled $69,766 and $74,677 for fiscal years 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the use of assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different than those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our employee stock options. A summary of our stock option activity and related information for equity compensation plans approved by security holders for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows: STOCK OPTIONS OUTSTANDING Number Outstanding Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Share BALANCE AT MARCH 31, 2015 330,000 $ 0.96 Granted 139,000 0.57 Forfeited/expired (58,000 ) 0.83 BALANCE AT MARCH 31, 2016 411,000 $ 0.85 Granted 285,000 0.31 Forfeited/expired (11,000 ) 0.86 BALANCE AT MARCH 31, 2017 685,000 $ 0.63 A summary of our stock option activity and related information for equity compensation plans not approved by security holders for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 is as follows: STOCK OPTIONS OUTSTANDING Number Outstanding Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Share BALANCE AT MARCH 31, 2015 245,000 $ 0.96 Granted — — Forfeited/expired — — BALANCE AT MARCH 31, 2016 245,000 $ 0.96 Granted — — Forfeited/expired — — BALANCE AT MARCH 31, 2017 245,000 $ 0.96 The following table summarizes information about employee stock options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2017: STOCK OPTIONS OUTSTANDING STOCK OPTIONS EXERCISABLE Range of Exercise Prices Number Outstanding Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (in Years) Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Share Number Exercisable Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Share $0.30 - $0.74 440,000 4.0 $ 0.41 68,201 $ 0.60 $0.82 - $1.09 370,000 1.7 $ 0.89 250,718 $ 0.90 $1.15 - $1.50 120,000 1.1 $ 1.26 102,426 $ 1.27 930,000 2.7 $ 0.71 421,345 $ 0.94 A summary of our RSU activity and related information for equity compensation plans approved by security holders for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 is as follows: RSUs OUTSTANDING Number Outstanding Weighted-Average Exercise Price per Share BALANCE AT MARCH 31, 2016 44,924 $ 0.67 Granted — — Exercised (10,130 ) 0.80 Forfeited/expired (10,508 ) 0.66 BALANCE AT MARCH 31, 2017 24,286 $ 0.62 The 930,000 options outstanding as of March 31, 2017 are nonqualified stock options.

Commitments and Contingencies | Our noncancelable lease agreement extends through July 31, 2019 for 28,696 square feet of space for our facilities at 6797 Winchester Circle, Boulder, Colorado. The lease includes $172,176 of leasehold improvements granted by the landlord. The $172,176 was recorded on our balance sheets as leasehold improvements and deferred rent. The leasehold improvements are being amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the assets life and the deferred rent is being amortized against rent expense over the lease term. The minimum future lease payment, by fiscal year, as of March 31, 2017 is as follows: Fiscal Year Amount 2018 285,034 2019 293,585 2020 99,800 Total $ 678,419 In March 2016, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Crestmark Bank. The loan is due on demand and has no financial covenants. Under the agreement, we were provided with a line of credit that is not to exceed the lesser of $1,000,000 or 85% of eligible accounts receivable. The interest rate is prime rate plus 2%, with a floor of 5.5%, plus a monthly maintenance fee of 0.4%, based on the average monthly loan balance. Interest is charged on a minimum loan balance of $500,000, a loan fee of 1% annually, and an exit fee of 2% and 1% during years two and three, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, we had $275,055 of borrowings from the credit facility and had an additional $360,149 available to borrow. We are subject to regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). The FDA provides regulations governing the manufacture and sale of our products and regularly inspects us and other manufacturers to determine our and their compliance with these regulations. As of March 31, 2017, we believe we were in substantial compliance with all known regulations. FDA inspections are conducted periodically at the discretion of the FDA. We were last inspected in December 2012 and were notified of five observations from that inspection, none of which we believe to be material. Our obligation with respect to employee severance benefits is minimized by the "at will" nature of the employee relationships. Our total obligation with respect to contingent severance benefit obligations was none as of March 31, 2017 and 2016. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | We account for income taxes under ASC 740, which requires the use of the liability method. ASC 740 provides that deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred income tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. Income tax provision (benefit) for income taxes is summarized below: Years Ended March 31, 2017 March 31, 2016 Current: Federal $ –– $ –– State –– –– Total current –– –– Deferred: Federal –– (291,000 ) State –– (30,000 ) Total deferred –– (321,000 ) Valuation allowance –– 321,000 Total $ –– $ –– The following is a reconciliation between the effective rate and the federal statutory rate used in determining deferred tax assets: Years Ended March 31, 2017 March 31, 2016 Expected income tax rate $ (248,000 ) $ (299,000 ) State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit (26,000 ) (31,000 ) Change in valuation allowance 248,000 315,000 Other permanent differences 26,000 15,000 Income tax expense $ –– $ –– The components of the net accumulated deferred income tax asset (liability) are as follows: Years Ended March 31, 2017 March 31, 2016 Other deferred assets $ 99,000 $ 225,000 Valuation allowance (99,000 ) (225,000 ) Current deferred tax assets –– –– Credits and net operating loss carryforwards 4,775,000 4,190,000 Valuation allowance (4,775,000 ) (4,190,000 ) Long-term deferred tax assets –– –– Total deferred tax assets –– –– Valuation allowance –– –– Long-term deferred tax liabilities –– –– Total deferred tax liabilities –– –– Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ –– $ –– The primary components of our deferred tax assets are describe below: Years Ended March 31, 2017 March 31, 2016 Differences in reporting long-term assets $ 99,000 $ 225,000 Credits and net operating loss carryforwards 4,775,000 4,190,000 Less valuation allowance (4,874,000 ) (4,415,000 ) Total deferred tax assets $ –– $ –– We believe that based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the deferred tax asset. As of March 31, 2017, we had approximately $12.1 million of net operating loss carryovers for tax purposes. Additionally, we have approximately $239,000 of research and development tax credits available to offset future federal income taxes. The net operating loss and credit carryovers begin to expire in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. In fiscal years ended after March 31, 2019, net operating losses expire at various dates through March 31, 2037. Our net operating loss carryovers at March 31, 2017 include $455,000 in income tax deductions related to stock options which will be tax effected and the benefit will be reflected as a credit to additional paid-in capital when realized. As such, these deductions are not reflected in our deferred tax assets. The Internal Revenue Code contains provisions, which may limit the net operating loss carryforwards available to be used in any given year if certain events occur, including significant changes in ownership interests. |

Participants may defer up to 20% of their gross pay up to a maximum limit determined by law. Participants are immediately vested in their contributions. We may make discretionary contributions based on corporate financial results for the fiscal year. To date, we have not made contributions to the 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. Vesting in a contribution account (our contribution) is based on years of service, with a participant fully vested after five years of credited service. |

We have no significant off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. We maintain the majority of our cash balances with one financial institution in the form of demand deposits. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from transactions with and from entities in the healthcare industry primarily located in the United States. Accordingly, we may be exposed to credit risk generally associated with the healthcare industry. We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We charge interest on past due accounts on a case-by-case basis.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes. ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. The cumulative effect of adopting ASC 740 on April 1, 2007 has been recorded net in deferred tax assets, which resulted in no ASC 740 liability on the balance sheet. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption was zero. There are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit the Company's tax returns from fiscal year ended March 31, 1999 through the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statements of operations. There have been no income tax related interest or penalties assessed or recorded. Because the Company has provided a full valuation allowance on all of its deferred tax assets, the adoption of ASC 740 had no impact on our effective tax rate. |

Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the accompanying statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our statements of operations for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 included compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of March 31, 2017, based on the grant date fair value. Compensation expense for all share-based payment is recognized using the straight-line, single-option method. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the accompanying statements of operations for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model ("Black-Scholes model") to determine fair value. Our determination of fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Although the fair value of employee stock options is determined in accordance with ASC 718 using an option-pricing model, that value may not be indicative of the fair value observed in a willing buyer/willing seller market transaction. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 was $69,766 and $74,677, respectively, which consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to director and employee stock options. Stock-based compensation expense related to director and employee stock options under ASC 718 for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 was allocated as follows: Years Ended March 31, 2017 March 31, 2016 Cost of sales $ 2,648 $ 2,287 Sales and marketing 12,645 11,822 General and administrative 49,333 56,381 Research and development 5,140 4,187 Stock-based compensation expense $ 69,766 $ 74,677 |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has also issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (the ASU), which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The ASU requires management to perform an assessment every reporting period (including interim periods) to determine whether there is substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The ASU also defines that substantial doubt exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. We have evaluated this new guidance, and the related impact on the financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, ("ASU 2015-11"). ASU 2015-11 affects reporting entities that measure inventory using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. Specifically, ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect ASU 2015-11 to have a material/significant impact on its financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which modified lease accounting for both lessees and lessors to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous accounting standards and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning in its third quarter of 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of its adoption and the impact of adopting the new lease standard on its consolidated financial statements. |
