NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 22, 2007 -- Daxor Corporation (AMEX : DXR ), a medical
instrumentation and biotechnology company, today announced the receipt of a
signed trial agreement from the Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical
Center, Los Angeles, California.
Kaiser Permanente is the largest nonprofit health plan in the United
States, serving 8.2 million members in 9 states and the District of
Columbia. Kaiser Permanente is an integrated health delivery system, which
means that Kaiser Permanente provides and coordinates the entire scope of
care for its members, including: preventative care, well-baby and prenatal
care, immunizations, emergency care, screening diagnostics, hospital and
medical services and pharmacy services. As a nonprofit health plan, Kaiser
Permanente is driven by the needs of its members rather than the needs of
shareholders. Kaiser Permanente's Los Angeles Medical Center is a 439-bed
tertiary medical center.
Daxor's Blood Volume Analyzer BVA-100 will be located within the Los
Angeles Medical Center's Nuclear Medicine Department, and will be utilized
by cardiology and various critical care units to diagnose blood volume
derangements in various medical and critical care conditions.
Dr. David Blumfield, Nuclear Cardiologist, said that, "A measured blood
volume may be extremely helpful in diagnosing and then treating patients
with a goal-directed measured value. Measured blood volumes will allow us
to better utilize critical care beds and other expensive resources."
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
