I got them to send me all of their original RCT data (it wasn't published), and it seems to be pretty effective -- definately a good choice when parents are opposed to using pesticides, or in kids that have bad reactions to permethrin. We actually bought one, too -- easy to use, doesn't hurt or anything. The only drawback is that you really have to use it daily for 10-14 days to completely eradicate the infestation. But, it's just five minutes a day, and older kids can do it on themselves. It can also be used to test whether kids have lice or not, which I think is pretty cool.
