Health Robotics to Unveil TPNstation(TM) at the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists on December 7th

BOZEN, Italy, November 30 - Health Robotics today announced its plans to unveil TPNstation's
development plans and product specifications for a new and revolutionary
concept: "Totally Automated Parenteral Nutrition", a new key component of its
i.v. Room of the Future vision to be showcased at Las Vegas' ASHP (Booth #
114).

"I look forward to see the reaction from our customers to the
TPNstation's blueprints and to find out if TPNstation appears to meet their
prior requests to complete the automation of the I.V. Room with Parenteral
Nutrition after we led the industry in solving I.V. Therapy issues over the
last 2 to 3 years with CytoCare, i.v.STATION, and i.v.SOFT. Parenteral
Nutrition continues to be an area of concern for our customers in terms of
patient safety, especially in Pediatrics, given biocompatibility issues,
complicated calculations, patient-specific formulations, and the current lack
of assured sterility at compounding centers," stated Paolo Giribona, Health
Robotics' Director for Research & Development.

"Totally Automated Parenteral Nutrition is a new concept that leapfrogs
the status-quo of TPN Automation (6, 9, 10, 12, or 24-channel
partially-automated units from companies such as Baxter, Neocare, Fresenius,
B|Braun, and Baxa) to a new level of TPN CPOE software-machine integration
(including the multi-language features lacking in today's market), and with:
up to 32-channels (so Pharmacy Techs do not need to manually add 8
ingredients to say, a 24-channel compounded I.V. Bag); faster pumping rates
(18 ml/second); automatic labeling of the I.V. Bags (to reduce manual errors
in labeling); digital and/or Bar-Code recognition of source-ingredient
containers (to eliminate source-ingredient error); within an ISO-Class 5
sealed chamber [including overnight UV-lamps sterilization] that can enable
Health-System Pharmacists to compound TPNs anywhere, anytime without the need
for a "clean room"; and with greater sterility than traditional open
compounding units, simultaneously filling 15 I.V. Bags (up to 3 liters each)
without operator assistance," stated Gaspar DeViedma, Health Robotics'
architect of Health Robotics' i.v. Room of the Future, and co-developer with
Mr. Giribona of TPNstation.

"Although current TPN machines are regularly labeled as "automated TPN
Compounders," the fact of the matter is that they all leave many tasks to
memory and distraction of human operators, making them susceptible to errors,
staff shortages, and other I.V. Room industry issues. A much more suitable
label for the current units available in the market should arguably be:
"partially-automated solutions". As we have historically done with most of
our other I.V. Room solutions, we will seek at ASHP early adopters for this
revolutionary technology amongst the global Health-System Pharmacists
attending the conference, and plan meetings with current and prospective
business partners than can help market and support TPNstation when we finally
release it to the general market in the future. I'm confident of the fact
that since we are re-utilizing some of the i.v.STATION technology [identical
footprint] and our existing TPN CPOE [powered by MEDarchiver], this should
both reduce research and development expenses and significantly cut the
time-to-market after we receive detail feedback to the TPN concept we are
presenting at ASHP in Las Vegas," stated Werner Rainer, Health Robotics' CEO.

About Health Robotics:

Health Robotics is the undisputed global leading supplier of
life-critical intra-venous Medication Admixture robots, providing healthcare
facilities in four continents with robotics technology and software
automation solutions. Its world-leading solutions CytoCare(TM) [hazardous
IVs], i.v.STATION(TM) [non-hazardous IVs], i.v.SOFT(TM) [workflow engine for
manual compounding] and the future development of TPNstation(TM)
[totally-automated parenteral nutrition] have and will greatly contribute to
ease hospitals' growing pressures to improve patient safety through the
effective and efficient production of sterile, accurate, and
ready-to-administer IVs; to eliminate life-threatening drug-exchange errors
and to decrease other medication errors and sterility risks; and to work more
efficiently, increase throughput, reduce waste, and contain costs. Additional
benefits derived from Health Robotics' vision to complete the i.v. Room of
the Future include improving the situational awareness of the I.V. Medication
Management processes across the continuum of care, enhancing pharmacy-nursing
patient-focused communications, introducing holographic user interfaces to
the clean room, and reducing the gap between rising patient volume/acuity and
scarce nursing and pharmacy staff. For more information, please visit
