icos
Icos Corporation (trademark ICOS) was an American biotechnology company and the largest biotechnology company in the U.S. state of Washington, before it was sold to Eli Lilly and Company in 2007. It was founded in 1989 by David Blech, Isaac Blech, Robert Nowinski, and George Rathmann, a pioneer in the industry and chief executive officer (CEO) and co-founder of Amgen, Icos focused on the development of drugs to treat inflammatory disorders. During its 17-year history, the company conducted clinical trials of twelve drugs, three of which reached the last phase of clinical trials. Icos also manufactured antibodies for other biotechnology companies.
Icos is famous for tadalafil (Cialis), a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction. This drug was discovered by GlaxoSmithKline, developed by Icos, and manufactured and marketed in partnership with Eli Lilly. Boosted by a unique advertising campaign led by the Grey Worldwide Agency, sales from Cialis allowed Icos to become profitable in 2006. Cialis was the only drug developed by the company to be approved. LeukArrest, a drug to treat shock, and Pafase, developed for sepsis, were both tested in phase III clinical trials, but testing was discontinued after unpromising results during the trials. Eli Lilly acquired Icos in January 2007, and most of Icos's workers were laid off soon after. CMC Biologics, a Danish contract manufacturer, bought the remnants of Icos and retained the remaining employees.
Hello,

Hi,
was looking for some help and advice. My Ideal HE18 boiler has failed this morning. It will fire up and 'start' working but after approx 10-20 seconds powers down again. There is no fault indication on the LED as it is flashing 'c' for the central heating. After approx 10-15 minutes the...

The heat exchanger bottom plate is leaking in my Ideal Icos HE12 boiler. Apparently its not an O ring type gasket but a silicon paste and they often fail if they are stripped down and a new paste applied.
So what I want to know is can I put Fernox sealer into a microbore system or is it likely...

Hi peeps,
Keep getting LF flash up on the above boiler. Replaced both sets of electrodes, but fault is still occurring. What's the next step? Could it be the harness or sparker itself? Or could the PCB be shot?
.............. or so it seems , had it installed today but wont fire up , its on temp supplies ( boiler and pump ) , stat is set to max on boiler , fan spins for a second then stops with blue light on then nothing else happens , WB service coming out in the morning , installer reckons that PCB...
I found this very useful site while surfing for info on the boiler in my new-build house (Ideal Icos HE15) - which I'd heard was unreliable. (I've established that the newer pcb - in an orange case - is, apparently, more reliable than the older - so I got the fitter to open it and check it was...
Hi,
I have an Icos HE15 (not by choice!) Yesterday the display vanished and the boiler stopped working. Have checked fuse. Seems from what I can gather a PCB is needed. There are lots of complaints all over the net about these boilers! My question is: if I order the part as cheaply as I can, is...

Folks I have IDEAL ICOS 24 SYSTEM boiler charging Thermalstore. Am I right in thinking that the Ideal does not require a pump overrun and that the system pump can just be operated straight from the boiler so only coming on when the boiler is being called. At the moment the pump just seems...

Hi all,
I have a range tribune HE and an icos ideal boiler, and I cannot get any hot water from the boiler for hot water. The central heating seems fine though.
It seems that the water is being heated by the boiler and getting to the tank as the feed from the boiler is really hot. The...
