NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - June 29, 2007) - Daxor Corporation (AMEX : DXR ), a medical
instrumentation and biotechnology company, today announced purchase
agreements from the Geisinger Medical Center of Danville, Pennsylvania and
the University of Medicine and Dentistry of Newark, New Jersey (UMDNJ).
Geisinger Medical Center, recently named one of the Top 100 Hospitals in
the country by Solucient's Center for Healthcare Improvement, is a 437-bed
facility and the center of a physician-led health care system dedicated to
health care, education, research and service spanning 40 counties and
serving 2.5 million people. UMDNJ's University Hospital is the center of
referral for many of New Jersey's most advanced medical services and
specialty care programs. UMDNJ's commitment to education, primary care and
specialized referral services has produced the most extensive array of
inpatient and outpatient services available in the state of New Jersey.
Daxor's Blood Volume Analyzers, located within the respective nuclear
medicine departments of these highly regarded hospitals, were purchased
following the completion of a trial agreement to assess the benefit
provided by the BVA-100 to diagnose patient blood volume derangements in
various medical conditions and disease states. There is an increasing
awareness by medical institutions that providing a measured blood volume
provides additional clinical benefit to patients and a source for
additional service referrals. Patients with a volume derangement who are
treated without the benefit of a blood volume measurement are currently
treated based upon clinical estimates.
Published medical articles, abstracts and clinical presentations continue
to demonstrate that patients in various disease states benefit from the
diagnostic information of a measured blood volume analysis. Daxor's Blood
Volume Analyzer BVA-100 is the only FDA approved diagnostic device which
provides for a 98% accurate measurement of blood volume.
Other nationally renowned hospitals which have purchased the BVA-100 Blood
Volume Analyzer after using it on a clinical trial basis are The Mayo
Clinic, The Cleveland Clinic, and New York University Medical Center.
Daxor Corporation manufactures and markets the BVA-100, a semi-automated
Blood Volume Analyzer. The BVA-100 is used in conjunction with Volumex,
Daxor's single use diagnostic kit. For more information regarding Daxor
Corporation's Blood Volume Analyzer BVA-100, visit Daxor's website
