CDEX, Inc. Delivers First Production ValiMed Medication Validation System

Posted on: Tuesday, 25 April 2006, 15:00 CDT

CDEX, Inc. (CEXI.OB) announced today that it has delivered the first ValiMed Medication Validation System production units in the initial installment of the systems purchased by Baxa Corporation (www.baxa.com) under their reseller agreement with CDEX (www.cdex-inc.com). The ValiMed Medication Validation System is designed to verify narcotic disposal and validate pharmaceuticals, including concentration and diluents, in patient medications. The first production units were prepared to verify 33 medications (nine narcotics and 24 medications) for both doses and diluents.

The information obtained from CDEX beta partners has permitted the company to incorporate significant changes to the system from the original design. The current configuration can validate narcotic disposal of such narcotics as Fentanyl at 50 mcg/ml and differentiate patient care drugs such as Epinephrine at 0.005 mg/ml and Epinephrine at 0.01 mg/ml.

"The delivery of the first ValiMed production units marks a significant milestone in the CDEX growth strategy. The shipment of the ValiMed systems has positioned the company to focus on overall market penetration for the ValiMed product. Our proven production capabilities coupled with our recent TUV certification has opened significant opportunities for us both in the U.S. and overseas," stated Jim Griffin, President and CEO of CDEX, Inc.

The ValiMed medication library currently consists of 33 narcotics and patient care medications, and is scheduled to be expanded to more than 140 medications, doses and diluents, by the end of the year. ValiMed's improved capabilities and an expanding medication library will ensure that the system becomes an essential tool for improving patient safety.
