February 14 - Hayes Clinical Labs to Market MedeFile's Proprietary Electronic Medical Record Management Solution to Patients

Administering More Than 180,000 Patient Visits Each Year, East Coast's Largest Independent Clinical Lab Services Company Aspires to Empower Patients with Control Over Medical Care

MedeFile International, Inc. (OTCBB: MDFI), a company specializing in portable electronic medical records management solutions, announced that it has signed a collaborative marketing agreement with Hayes Clinical Laboratory, the largest independent clinical laboratory on Florida's East Coast.

With five locations in Southern Florida and a service region that covers primarily Palm Beach, Broward, Okeechobee, St. Lucie and Martin counties, Hayes Labs is a full service medical laboratory performing tests on all body fluids and tissue. Each year, Hayes administers more than 180,000 patient visits, most of which have been referred from its client base comprised of nearly 500 doctors and healthcare specialists.

Chad Fredrich, President of Hayes, noted, "We routinely see patients who are subjected to redundant clinical testing because they are under the care of physicians who are unaware of other medical providers that are also treating the patient for related or unrelated medical conditions and who have ordered similar tests. This unnecessary redundancy is costly to the patient and costly to the healthcare system. Moreover, insurance payers may refuse to approve payment for testing when patients have exceeded 'frequency limitations' allowable for clinical tests, resulting in our having to write off these billings as bad debt. In this case, testing redundancy is costly to our company. By empowering patients with MedeFile, they gain control over effectively managing their own medical records, can carry actual clinical test results with them wherever they go, and can optimize the care they receive from their treating physicians. We are very excited about teaming with MedeFile International to begin offering this novel, cost-saving solution to the thousands of patients who rely on Hayes for clinical testing services."

Hayes Labs will also engage in actively encouraging its network of referring physicians, in addition to other independent clinical laboratories around the country, to offer MedeFile to their respective patient bases.

"MedeFile is on a mission to educate the nation's healthcare community on the fact that centralizing actual medical records with the patient is the key to achieving real, positive change to the U.S. healthcare delivery system. By winning the support of respected medical institutions and providers, such as Hayes Labs, we are succeeding in helping others to realize and appreciate the many important convenience, care-enhancing and cost-saving benefits made possible with the MedeFile solution," stated Milton Hauser, Chairman and CEO of MedeFile.

CARN News:

February 14 - Carrington Subsidiary DelSite Starts Making Test Batches of First Bird Flu Vaccine Offering Needle-free Self-Administration

- Human Trials to Begin Later This Year

- Only Nasal Powder Bird Flu Vaccine Under Development

- Patient-Friendly (No Needles); No Preservatives

- Stable at Room Temperature For 3 Years; No Cold Chain Distribution Required

Carrington Laboratories, Inc. (OTCBB: CARN) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary DelSite Biotechnologies, Inc. received a shipment of clinical-grade H5N1 (bird flu) antigen from a major pharmaceutical company to commence production, under cGMP requirements, of clinical quantities of DelSite's nasal powder bird flu (H5N1) vaccine. The nasal powder bird flu vaccine is scheduled to begin testing in a Phase I human clinical trial later this year.

The vaccine will utilize DelSite's proprietary GelVac(TM) nasal powder delivery platform, which offers many distinct advantages over traditional vaccine delivery systems: (1) easy, needle-free, self-administration, not requiring healthcare professionals; (2) enhanced protection because administration of vaccine into nasal cavity stimulates both a systemic response and mucosal response; (3) no adverse side effects caused by preservatives; (4) stability at room temperature, which eliminates the need for cold storage or cold chain distribution, thereby opening distribution to Third World countries where refrigeration is often not available; and, (5) a demonstrated shelf life of an influenza vaccine of three years, enabling potential stockpiling in the event of a pandemic.

As a prelude to the Phase I human trials, in January 2008 toxicology studies were successfully completed on a GelVac nasal powder (H5N1) influenza vaccine. The GelVac nasal powder platform has also successfully completed a Phase I safety study in which the delivery device provided a consistent, greater-than-90-percent delivery of the powder to the desired site in the nose.

Carlton E. Turner, PhD, Carrington's president and CEO, stated, "We are focusing our full attention on advancing DelSite's GelVac nasal powder delivery platform for vaccines and therapeutics, and the H5N1 bird flu antigen was selected specifically for this effort. We completed all toxicology studies last year and reported results in January 2008. Receiving the current shipment of the non-egg-based, clinical-grade bird flu antigen for human studies was the next step in our efforts. Our regulatory pathway has been determined with the FDA, and we intend to proceed with clarity of purpose to the Phase I safety and effectiveness human trial with the nasal powder bird flu vaccine later this year."

Dr. Turner added, "The success of Wyeth's Prevnar® pneumococcal vaccine and Merck's Gardasil® vaccine for cervical cancer has created a renewed interest in vaccines. According to a report by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, more than 50 companies had 146 vaccines in various stages of development in 2007. Of these, 138 were classical liquid vaccines requiring needles, cold storage (2-8 degrees C), cold chain distribution (2-8 degrees C), and adjuvants and/or preservatives. Five were nasal mist vaccines with the same requirements except for needles, one was an influenza dermal patch, and two were powder formulations. Simply put, those requiring needles are not distributor- or user-friendly, and those requiring cold storage are not distributor- and may not be user-friendly."

"A simple, less expensive, easy-to-distribute, user-friendly delivery system would serve to complete the vaccine paradigm shift away from needles and cold storage/distribution as was started by FluMist®, a liquid nasal spray flu vaccine," Dr. Turner added. "Dr. Nayer Khazani, a specialist in internal medicine who also does research and teaches at Stanford University Medical Center, wrote in an article (February 2, 2008) in the San Francisco Chronicle, stating that ' ... as delivery systems move from needles to patches and nasal powders, prevention (and even cure) may come without the sting.' His comments underscore our belief that the GelVac nasal powder platform developed by DelSite will complete this total paradigm shift and, clearly, without a sting."

"GelVac(TM) powder has been shown to work with and stabilize many antigens and protein and peptide therapeutics," continued Turner. "All formulations tested are stable at room temperature, require no needles, no preservatives, no cold storage and can be shipped anywhere free of the restrictive cold chain distribution systems associated with other vaccines. As a nasal powder, it is patient-friendly and does not require administration by a medical professional. No painful injection could mean greater public acceptance and thus public protection on a broader scale against specific diseases."

"At the corporate level, we are analyzing our business models and exploring strategies to move all our business units forward. We have invested more than $54 million in DelSite and have incurred financial losses over recent years. As a company we are dedicated to funding DelSite's initiatives and programs. The fact that a major pharma company has twice provided us, free of cost, a non-egg based H5N1 bird flu antigen produced under the restriction required for human use, indicates that much of the heavy lifting may be behind us."
