BioDrain Installs Five STREAMWAY Units at Unity Health System

MINNEAPOLIS, March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BioDrain Medical, Inc. (OTCBB: BIOR, OTCQB: BIOR), producer of the FDA cleared STREAMWAY System for automated surgical fluid disposal, announced today that the Company has installed five units of the STREAMWAY System to fulfill a recent multi-unit purchase order from Unity Health System, a health care network serving Rochester and western Monroe County, New York.

The order represents long-term as well as short-term revenue potential, given the consumable revenues attributable to the purchase of each STREAMWAY unit.

Kevin Davison, CEO of BioDrain, stated, "We are very excited to announce the installation of these units and to further tap into the expansive market of hospitals across the United States. More and more doctors, surgical personnel and medical staff are being drawn to STREAMWAY due to its ease of use, important safety, efficiency and environmental benefits, and exceptional performance in difficult and high-fluid cases. Accordingly, we are constantly working to improve our products and technologies, in addition to ramping-up our production, so we can further establish STREAMWAY System within the medical device market space. Over 750 surgeries have already been completed using our STREAMWAY System, and we look forward to supplying our unique technology to more medical centers and helping these institutions improve their surgical fluid handling capabilities in the future."

About BioDrain Medical, Inc.

BioDrain Medical, Inc. has a fully automated, patented, FDA cleared, surgical fluid disposal system that virtually eliminates operating room workers' exposure to blood, irrigation fluid and other potentially infectious fluids found in the surgical environment. Today's manual surgical fluid handling methods of hand-carrying filled surgical fluid canisters and emptying these canisters is an exposure risk and an antiquated approach to the handling of surgical fluid waste. BioDrain's STREAMWAY System fully automates the collection, measurement and disposal of surgical fluids resulting in: 1) reducing overhead costs to hospitals and surgical centers, 2) improving the Occupational State and Health Association (OSHA) and other regulatory compliance, and 3) improving the efficiency of the operating room (and thereby making surgeries more profitable).

BioDrain's STREAMWAY System is eco-friendly as it contributes to cleaning up the environment. Currently, approximately 50 million bloody, potentially disease infected canisters go to landfills annually in the United States. These tainted canisters can remain in landfills for years to come. With the installation of BioDrain's STREAMWAY System, the number of canisters can be significantly reduced. BioDrain Medical, Inc. makes the operating room and our environment safer, cleaner, and better. BioDrain products are currently being represented by independent professional sales representatives whom cater to the needs of hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers across the country.
