CAMDEN, N.J. and RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. (November 27, 2007) - Our Lady of
Lourdes Medical Center, Southern New Jersey's premier regional tertiary care
teaching medical center, recently chose the RadarFind Real Time Location System
(RTLS) to boost its efforts to enhance patient care, reign in costs and improve
infection control throughout the hospital. Our Lady of Lourdes is part of Catholic
Health East, one of the nation's largest not for profit health systems.

The simplicity of RadarFind's installation, its ease of use and its ability to
provide real-time status information about medical equipment throughout an entire
hospital made this asset and patient tracking solution stand out from competitors,
hospital officials said.

"This system will enable us to manage our equipment and monitor patient throughput
more effectively and efficiently, benefiting patient care and hospital operations,"
said Alexander Hatala, president and CEO of Lourdes Health System. "It became
quickly evident that the design of RadarFind's solution was guided by doctors and
former hospital administrators who clearly understand the dynamics of hospital
operations."

RadarFind also is more affordable to install than other systems, allowing hospitals
to see a rapid return on investment. For example, less than a year after installing
the RadarFind system, Wayne Memorial Hospital, a 316-bed facility in Goldsboro, N.C.
was able to reduce equipment purchases by more than $300,000.



The Simplest Solution is the Best Solution



"RadarFind did their homework by spending considerable time actually listening to
potential hospital customers and performing test trials encompassing entire
hospitals-not just clinical zones," said Louis Bianchin, senior analyst from Venture
Development Corporation. "Rather than using technology intended for wireless data
transmission to capture location information, RadarFind elected to develop their
RTLS platform with more cost-effective hardware and better accuracy. Sophisticated
antenna-based technology and system components that plug into almost any AC outlet
result in a simple solution that most hospitals can afford."

RadarFind's unique platform technology overcomes the limitations associated with
typical RFID and WiFi solutions. Designed to seamlessly integrate with existing
hospital infrastructure and operations, RadarFind requires no new wiring or ceiling
and wall penetration. And unlike many other systems, RadarFind operates
independently of a hospital's critical IT network.

The RadarFind system can provide room-level accuracy with no need for ongoing
calibration. Readers that plug into existing electrical outlets avoid interfering
with hospital operations and staff processes since there is no need to close off
patient rooms during installation. Moreover, the intuitive software is simple to use
and easily accommodates hospital staff skill levels.



Actionable Intelligence: The RadarFind Edge



Where many other systems provide information only about a device's location,
RadarFind's intrinsically safe, programmable asset tag goes a step further by
alerting staff to the device's status: available, in-use or needs
cleaning/sterilization.

"Recent studies demonstrate that environmental surfaces, including mobile medical
devices and computers, are a route for transmitting infectious diseases," comments
Vincent Carrasco, M.D., chief medical officer for RadarFind. "By using RadarFind
asset tags to track and identify mobile medical devices in order to document
effective cleaning, hospitals can better address and control infection rates."

"The RadarFind system was designed specifically for the hospital environment and can
scale to accurately track thousands of assets and patient encounters in the largest
hospital system," said RadarFind's CEO Terry Kane, M.D. "Working in concert with our
hospital customers, our ongoing technology development generates inherent
flexibility to economically meet the unique demands of even the most complex
hospital facility."
