Press Release Summary: The compact DRE Envoy PDM enables surgeons to track vital
signs and patient data throughout their surgery center from a single location.

Press Release Body: DRE Inc., a premier international medical and surgical equipment
supplier, introduces the DRE Envoy PDM, a new, \"all-in-one\" central station
telemetry monitor that features an intuitive patient data management system and an
easy-to-use touchscreen.

The DRE Envoy PDM (Patient Data Management) Wireless Telemetry System allows
physicians to wirelessly monitor vital signs of as many as six patients in their
medical facility from a central location. A wireless transmitter sends vital sign
data from bedside monitors to the Envoy PDM in real time.

Unlike traditional telemetry systems, which typically resemble desktop PCs, all
central station components of the Envoy PDM are housed in an all-inclusive device
that is similar to the size and appearance of a 15-inch computer monitor. The Envoy
PDM also features an easy-to-use touchscreen that eliminates the need for a keyboard
and further decreases the size of its footprint.

In addition to being a telemetry system, the Envoy PDM is a patient data management
system that surgeons can use to compile patient information such as medical history,
medications and treatment. The patient database helps telemetry operators compare
onscreen vital signs with demographics of a patient.

The Envoy PDM seamlessly integrates with the DRE Waveline Plus, a seven-parameter
patient monitor. Vital signs from up to six DRE Waveline Plus monitors can be
tracked and stored on the Envoy PDM in real time. Vital sign data is sent to the
Envoy PDM via a wireless transmitter that attaches to the back of the Waveline Plus.
The transmitter allows surgeons to transport the Waveline Plus from pre-operation to
surgery and through recovery while maintaining the wireless link between the monitor
and the Envoy PDM.

The Envoy PDM is DRE\'s latest entry in the medical telemetry market. In addition to
the Envoy PDM, DRE has also supplied the DRE Envoy TS vital signs telemetry system
to ambulatory surgery centers, outpatient surgery centers and oral surgery centers.

The DRE Envoy TS monitors vitals signs via bedside monitor transmitters and portable
ECG transmitters. At less than four ounces, the wireless, lightweight ECG
transmitters can be used to monitor mobile patients who are capable of moving
throughout a medical facility.

The Envoy TS seamlessly integrates with the DRE Spectra AG5 anesthesia gas monitor.
Any combination of up to sixteen ECG transmitters and Spectra AG5 monitors can be
linked to the Envoy TS central station.

Both the Envoy PDM and the Envoy TS are available now from DRE. Each telemetry
system features automatic charting; full disclosure; manual recording (ECG
analysis); trends, charts and strips for arrhythmia; detection of ECG data; and
color waveforms.
