Posted on: Wednesday, 20 September 2006, 09:00 CDT

CDEX Inc. (OTCBB:CEXI) announced today that Memorial Medical Center in Modesto, California has purchased the ValiMed Medication Validation System to perform end product testing of compounded intravenous medications, and validation of returned narcotics. The ValiMed Medication Validation System, developed by CDEX and distributed exclusively by Baxa Corporation, provides clinicians with a quick, cost effective, and simple tool to further ensure medication safety by verifying medications are correctly compounded.

In a process that takes only seconds, ValiMed uses patent pending technology to validate compounded doses of high-risk medications prior to dispensing to the patient care area. The solution creates an added level of safety in the medication dispensing process, and is also used to validate narcotic returns as well as identify counterfeit medications.

"We are pleased to welcome Memorial to the ValiMed family. Memorial is a community based organization," said Jim Griffin, President and CEO of CDEX Inc. "This affirms the value of ValiMed in all segments of the U.S. hospital market."

ValiMed validates medications to ensure that the correct drugs, in the correct amounts, in the correct diluent have been added to the dose during the compounding process. The ValiMed Medication Validation System is distributed under an exclusive agreement with Baxa Corporation (www.baxa.com) of Englewood, Colorado.
