Significant accounting policies [Abstract]  
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
 
Certain items previously reported in combined financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. These reclassifications did not affect total assets, total liabilities, and stockholders' equity.
 
Use of estimates
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers for which revenue has been recognized. Generally, the Company does not require collateral or any other security to support its receivables.
 
The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing receivables. The Company determines the allowance based on factors such as historical collection experience, customer's current creditworthiness, customer concentration, age of accounts receivable balance and general economic conditions that may affect the customer's ability to pay.  The Company has $76,000 and $49,000 in the allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  Actual customer collections could differ from estimates.  The approximate provision during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $27,000 compared to $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. There were no write – offs during the reporting periods.
 
Inventories
Inventories
Inventory is valued at standard cost, which approximates actual cost computed on a first-in, first-out basis, not in excess of market value. We assess the valuation of our inventory on a periodic basis and make adjustments to the value for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based on estimates about future demand. The excess balance determined by this analysis becomes the basis for our excess inventory charge. Our excess inventory review process includes analysis of sales forecasts, managing product rollovers and working with operations to maximize recovery of excess inventory.
 
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company sells its products through a combination of a direct sales force and independent stocking distributors and representatives in the U.S. and independent distributors in international markets. The Company recognizes revenue when title to the goods and risk of loss transfers to customers, provided there are no material remaining performance obligations required of the Company or any matters of customer acceptance. In cases where the Company utilized distributors or ships product directly to the end user, it recognizes revenue upon shipment provided all revenue recognition criteria have been met. The Company records estimated sales returns, discounts and allowances as a reduction of net sales in the same period revenue is recognized.  The Company recorded approximately $190,000 and $39,000 for net sales returns provisions for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and there were approximately $156,000 and $0 of charges against the provision during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
